With a perfect breeze on the bay, perhaps a bit light, but with flat seas, some nice sailing. Start was on time.. with a conservative course, in case the wind died. Yolo got a conservative start, but was blocked for the tack so sailed a bit further then was liked on Stb.. after the tack had to fetch for the mark and try and catch up... Gybed around weather mark and set up for kite hoist, with the first to get their kite pulling.. and a nice leg to the leeward mark catching up with the early kite hoist.. winds died down near the leeward mark but made a perfect strike with perfect timing and rounded up well at the mark to play a good tactical beat via NO:10 to the weather mark where the same downwind routine was followed. Following the rounding at the leeward mark and hardening up, we watched the water to find the best track up to the finish and worked this and the shifts as they wind was starting a big shift. In the end, Yolo scored a first place on corrected time which was pleasing.
Aboard were: Dale and Ian.
