Cape Town Race Week cont...

With Yolo going into the last day in the lead, it was Game on.. playing a game of points..

Race 5 -Nice conditions, if a bit light.. Good start, but got slighly boxed.. but made up a bit on the downwinds.. In the end a good second place in this race.

Race 6- Nice sailing.. Good racing was had.. with the stopwatch working overtime. A few good maneuvers helped.. Albeit we got kelp caught on the rudder three times, which required removal by hand... In the end Yolo won this race with one second in hand..

Overall a good win for Yolo.. in the biggest class in this regatta,  The regatta and it's sponsors outdid themselves in running a top class shore based activities.. and for our win on Yolo a bottle of Blue Label and a Maserati watch was won.

Abaord for this regatta as follows: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Shane and Cathleen.
Mark on Friday, Nick Leggat on Sat and Sunday and Michael Kavanagh on the Sunday.
