Wed 18th Jan 2017

With a good breeze on the bay, it looked like some nice sailing to be had... realizing there was a wind line sperating the start line.. YOLO ensured she was at the wind end, but with a minute to go, the wind died and in fact was coming from the opposite direction, causing YOLO to put in some quick manouvers, but was still late on the line.. Once away, quickly got back intot he SE without having lost too much on the fleet. Once rounded the weather mark sailed to seperate us from our competition and keep our wind clear.. and poled the leg... managing to end the leg on the inside at the gybe mark. getting a good gybe which made some more distance. a quick fetch leg to the laid mark and then a beat to harken mark and then to the finish. Good distance was made up on the beat as we secured a good lane and used the shifts to advantage allowing us to pull out a bit more distance. Overall First in Class. Aboard: Dale, Ian, Sieger and Arran.
