WED NITE RACE -14 October 2015

First Wed night race of the season. Conditions were blustery with gusts and shifts.. We opted to take things conservatively using our J4 for the racing which was about right. A good start with Yolo working hard to try and hang in with the Class one boats as long as possible. Around PAarden Island and a downwind leg, which was quite mundane.. A gybe at Milnerton and then a superb fetch across the bay to Number 4 mark, with YOLO really holding her ground.. Lots of trimming and hiking happening... Winds ranged between 12-25 knots during the race. Nice rounding of Number 4, cleared our air and tacked to lay the finish. YOLO won the race in her class. Aboard were: Dale, Sieger, Shane, Cath and Guests from the UK Army and Royal Navy, TIM and Steve. All well aboard.
