As we have missed all the Wednesday night races in the series to date.. with he boat being shipped back... Albeit we did some sailing on other boats.. it was decided that Yolo won't enter the last few races.. which could effect other boats overall results...
So we opted to go social sailing instead... with a SE of around 22knots.. we had some good sailing on the bay with flat water and enjoyed watching others race for a change...
Aboard were: Dale, Sieger, Cath, Antoinio, Arran And aa newby aboard Gavin.

Social Sail with Daniel and Friends.. 17 February 2019
Daniel chose not the have a party to celebrate his birthday, so instead opted to take a few friends out for a sail.. All wearing lifejackets and a basic safety
briefing, off for a sail, working to SE corner with winds in the early twenties a sail down the coast and then a reach to the centre of the bay where a light NW was blowing.. we spend the rest of the time sailing in the NW while viewing dolphins, seals, penguins and other sea birds. Everyone enjoyed. Aboard were: Dale and Antonio, plus Daniel(Dale's son) and friends, Finn, Michael, Sam and Jed.
Double Handed Race 16 February 2019
An early meet at the boat to give the deck a high pressure clean with salt walter… the South Easters have left a lot of fall out on the deck.. which will eventually require a polish.
Conditions were a NW, flat sea with winds in the early teens.. Getting a fair start but unable to tack as a Class B boat chose to over stand holding us off a bit, then a good fetch to first mark, a nice reach to Milnerton, a good beat back playing the shifts.. round landfall and a tight kite reach to Woodbridge followed by another bear which had wind fluctuations which we worked and around Number 8 with a fetch to the finish..
Overall we came first in our class. Aboard: Dale and Ian.
