WED Night Race 25th Jan 2017

With a nice SE on the water, not too strong, allowing for some good sailing. Yolo got away with a fair start but closing in at the weather mark the competions was ahead.. going on a downwind going on a different track to them to try and get ahead from PE to Milnerton mark, but to no avail, even losing another position on the downwind leg.. then around milnerton and the chase to the öffset mark"where we maintaned, a good rouidng of the offset allowed us to get on the inside of the competition and with a lot of working of the boat, managed to inch a bit ahead forcing them to tack to clear their air... at one stage it looked like Yolo was pulling on it's competition, but nearing Woddbridge, it was apparent that they had held onto their lead.. around woodbridge... and the final chase to the finish. Again it was looking good at one stage but they managed to finish ahead.. With a lucky puff near the finish which allowed YOLO to win on corrected time by twelve seconds. Aboard were: Dale, Ian and Sieger.
