Double Handed Race 5 March 2016

Getting a good start in the perfect position at the pin in a NW opting to hold starboard a bit longer to cover certain boats, in our minds we thought we were sailing to Number two, so allowed boats to dip below.. and eventually we tacked to realized that we had overstood and in so doing allowed the competition to sail through. A quick fetch to number 8, a gybe around and a quick hoist of the kite followed. the wind was freshening which allowed the slower boats to hang, eventually Yolo gybed for the mark.. and dropped and rounded the mark with a good upwind leg putting in a short hitch to round number ten to starboard and then Number 8. followed by another round to Paarden Eiland back to Number 2 and to the finish... the last leg being quite tight.. but halfway Yolo hoisted the kite which worked. In the end, a win for Yolo.. Good turnout out the water. Lots of L34's. Aboard were: Dale and Ian.
