RISK SA REGATTA 21/22 October

This event is more of a corporate event with the sailing crews teaming up with corporate to race this event. Yolo had the good people of Altech Netstar aboard... A great bunch with lots of enthusiasm. The Friday evening race was held in a nice 15 knots breeze.. sailing was idealic... with nice spinnaker legs. Yolo managed to hang in there with the bigger boats, while playing the shifts a bit more actively.. and got a second place in this race. For the Saturday Race, the decision was that there won't be spinnakers as the breeze was building(suits the larger boats).. It was a pursuit race so from the start, Yolo went on the chase and rapidly pulled in the boats ahead.. but still needed to make distance on the rest of the fleet.. As it turned out, Yolo went into the leeward mark in second place and was overtaken by a few boats on the final leg, giving Yolo a 6th place.. So still on the podium.. with a 3rd place overall.. so everyone was happy. The Race Crew aboard were: Dale, Ian, Cath and Dale S.
