SENIORS DAY RACE

This is always a firm favourite at RCYC which draws big numbers. Yolo being fortunate to have our very own Sieger Smink, our regular halyards man helming this year. So it was a real Yolo effort.
Unfortunately conditions were very light making sailing very difficult with some 8 knots and a slop running. Yolo got a ace start, right where she needed to be... but the conditions made it difficult for a wide hulled boat.. making progress very slow for the whole race. The winds died down to 5 knots for the last part of the last leg which did not help things, but everyone had a great time aboard. IN the end scoring a 15th overall... Not too bad considering.  Aboard were: Sieger, Dale, Ian, Shane and Clarence.
