With a bit more of a South in the Breeze.. winds gusting from mid teens to mid twenties.. the water was flat... IN the prestart a large Class A boat came across on port and did a slow tack using their powerful momentum and only going through the wind well after we had too dip them. Ordinarily we would suffer as one cannot be to lee in this situation, but as it happened this boat stalled as it used all it's momentum up.. Disappointing to have to share a line with fifty footers in a cans race.. not very safe if things go wrong..
Yolo got a fair start well within the CLass A boats.. and made for the First mark.. winds were gusting, but good easy sailing. Around the mark and a reach.. Yolo opted to set pole.. but not sure it added to performance due to the angle... At this point Yolo was well ahead of class..
Downwind followed by a beam reach and a good beat and reach to finish.
The crew as usual kept eeking what they could out of the boat..
Sailign was enjoyable with the flat water.
Yolo maintained her class lead on line and eventually won on corrected time.
Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Cath and Antoinio.
