Wednesday Night Race 26 October 2016

Forecast was for good Westerlies... at the start line, we could recognize the wind pattern forming... So set up to start and approach accordingly.. Getting a good start and immediately tried to build way in a dying breeze.. to ensure we got to the puffs as quick as possible. slowly entering the light breeze area and then more breeze and so on... till we were in more solid breeze.. (while most of the fleet were still struggling in the light breeze in the start area) Yolo made a few tacks on the upwind to compensate for wind shifts and got the the weather mark with Class one boats.. A downwind leg with the pole.. which required a gybe... and then around number 2 mark and a fetch for the finish.. the wind died right at the finish area which slowed the race.. Overall Yolo got a first place.. having scored in the early part of the race. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger and Cath.
