Prior to the start there was no wind or a Northerly blowing in the start area.. just before the Start the SE started to be felt on the Start line.. Yolo got a fair start but there was a lot of East in the breeze which was still filtering down the course.. so could not make the weather mark.. topping that a 50 footer slowly sailed over Yolo and kept her stuck in the dirty wind far too long.. with the result that Yolo needed another two tacks to make the weather mark way back in her fleet... by this time the wind had started to filter through... but Yolo needed to do a lot of catching up.. Working her way back up the fleet... on the final leg to the finish there was a wind convergence zone with some light breeze making it tricky to trasit.. Yolo worked her way through this and finished second overall in class. It was a great evening to be on the water.
Aboard were:Dale, Ian, Sieger, Antonio, Arran and Willem
