Double handed Race 28 July 2018

With Ian being the one who was keen on getting all the work completed from the winter lay up, the pressure was on. Literally the final items were completed on the morning of the race. The sails being the last item as they were reloaded onto the boat. Winds were light but Yolo got a good start.. The conditions did not suit Yolo. Eventually the expected wind transition moved over the course.. and Yolo took advantage but still unable to make up all the time lost on corrected time. After rounding Landfall and sailing to Woodbridge, there was some boats asking something about a shortened course, but we had heard nothing. Eventually we called up to find out our course had been shortened so we altered course and had to make back ground again to the finish line. In the end, Yolo came 2nd on corrected time, but it is important to note that some boats did not hear the Shortened course. If they did, Yolo would likely have come third.
