Double Handed Race 3 February 2018

With a good old Summer South Easter on the bay, Yolo set upto start.. getting a good position on the start line, but still a little under powered and then sandwiched between two bigger boats which quickly had Yolo out the exhaust..  With a fetch to Paarden Island the bigger boats quickly pulled away.. Once around the mark a kite hoist and the chase to the leeward mark... It was a good angle which Yolo enjoyed and the wind was up giving good consistent speeds. A good strike and rounding at the leeward mark, hardening up onto a beat.. Wind was in the low to mid 20's with the highest recorded at 31 knots. Seas were relatively flat so a comfortable beat to Milnerton and a fetch to the finish, crossing the line second and winning on handicap. A good sail was had.. Aboard were: Dale and Ian.
