WEDNESDAY NIGHT 12 October 2017

First Wednesday night of the season.. sentiment onboard is that we race Non Spinnaker Class for the moment.. the rationale is that we do not always have sufficient crew to race properly with a spinnaker on a Wednesday night.. We also consider Wednesday racing a bit more light hearted and a way of introducing people to sailing and fun..

Conditions were SW, flat seas making sailing really nice.. from around  9 knots to 20 in the puffs..
Yolo started in what we thought was a good position, but the puffs came through higher on the line, propelling those boats forward... Oh well... We spent the rest of the race working our way back to the fleet and then to get through them.. with a few shifts being played on the 2 upwind legs..
In the end, we crossed the line first in our class and first on corrected time..

Abaord were: Dale, Ian, Cath, Sieger and Arran.
