With a NW/Northerly foretasted we were in for an upwind sail with plenty of wind. As it turned out we had wind the whole way.. a bit light and flukey the first 1.5 hours... and as the race progressed a chop built which made for the occasionally slamming.. but otherwise a reasonable upwind. Unfortunately Yolo got caught in Kelp twice and had to back up which cost us time, not just in the maneuver but time lost in sailing with the kelp before finally doing the back up.. this probably cost us a better result, plus later in the race going on the wrong tack for too long.. In all a good race.
Race: Bay Race.. A firm favourite and weren't disappointed, with breeze throughout the course.. nice sailing and a excellent view.. Getting a reasonable result in our class..
Summary: We had a great event... Everyone enjoyed themselves.. Boat performed well. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Cath, Hans and Denis.
