ROUND ROBBEN ISLAND RACE 13th Jan 2018

Although a Southerly forecasted, the wind had not yet set in.. Firstly misjudging the line and hedging on the wrong side.. and then being well away from the line.. nearly 5min... gave YOLO a terrible start... at the wrong side of the line... with a separation in the fleet.. Yolo was forced to work the right side of the course which started to look good for a while, until a SW started to fill through, giving the advantage back to most of the fleet which were at the West side of the course.. with Yolo sailing up the East side.. With the rest of the race just sailed trying to catch up as best we can, but knowing we were out in the big picture. In the end finishing over line and handical well down the fleet.. but a good day was had on the water.. and to add to this after the finish, we backed up to find we had kelp on the Keel as well.... Oh well... Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Cath, Antonio and Dennis.
