Double handed Race 26 August 2017

With a few adjustments on the boat... Yolo set out for another Double handed race... With an obvious SE line forming it was a matter of time before the line would fill in over the start area.... Yolo got a fair start and held in with the faster boats... rounding the first mark in first place, immediately hoisting the kite and set in for a long downwind leg... Wind was less then expected on this leg with the odd puff but nothing too strong. Only one other boat in Yolo's class put up a Assym for 2/3 of the leg... Yolo managed to get to the leeward mark just ahead of this boat.... with a good strike and rounding settled down for a good beat to Milnerton.. This boat quickly passed Yolo and the race was on.. with them pulling out good distance on the next two legs. Sailing was comfortable... waves weren't too big.. and the biggest gusts were around 25 knots during the race, with the average around 19 knots. So it was good sailing on the water. Yolo ended up second over the line and first on corrected time..
