WED 2nd March 2016

Last race of the series... with a moderate SE on the water with the odd puff.. Positioned well on the start and got out with clear air which Yolo maintained to the first mark. Poled out on the downwind, but with the new breeze from behind unable to make any distance on those behind as they were coming in with the fresh breeze. Around Milnerton mark with a good rounding, but opted to tack straight away in order to clear breeze and get a better line as the boats on the downwind were on the same track.. Perhaps over standing a bit, much like the previous week but it did secure a good lane in. Around this mark and a sublime reach to the finish line.. around 52 minutes of sailing. But a very pleasant night on the water. In the end missing attaining a second overall in the race and securing a first overall in the series. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Shane and Cath.
