WED Nite Race 18 Feb 2017

With a light breeze on the water it was crucial to get a good start.. Yolo all set for a great start with time in hand, with just under a minute to go, a boat bore down on the boat racked to our weather to try and get space and T boned him(40 footers) although the boat in the rights, to avoid getting caught up, the only escape for us was forwards.. sailing us prematurely over the line.. Oh well.. a fun race.. Yolo worked back and restarted.. and then went on the catch up, initially making good ground having split from the fleet.. hanging in there till nearing the weather mark, where Yolo stayed on the wrong tack a bit too long.. then going on the wrong tack downwind for a period.. So in the end scoring a second last place.. But all abaord had a good race, with pleasant condfitions. Abaord were: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Shane, Cath, Arran and guests Sophie and one other.
