An event which we always enjoy, albeit numbers were really down. Sieger Yolo's trusty and long running crew member was delegated as skipper.
Getting a good start but light fickle conditions that followed, Sieger held his own, nice rounding at Paarden Island and managed to catch the windline as the SE started to push through. eventually caught in a hole with those behind catching the breeze. With a couple of good manouveres to avoid all collisions with those that don't abide by the riles at the leeward mark. Around the mark and then some really nice sailing... later in the race while approaching the weather mark on Starboard a Port tacker forced Yolo to tack in order to avoid a collision... later this same boat on the downwind caught up and overlapped to weather, in order to clear air Yolo started to head up.. but this boat was adamant, their overlap gave them rights.. no amount of telling them that it is a simple case of they are the weather boat and needed to keep clean made any sense to them. Dale even offered them to come to the boat afterwards to go through a rule book together. As this was a fun race, the protest flag was below.. In future the flag will be ready and deployed.. fun race or not... It is not fair to stand down, purely because there would have been a collision.
Well done to Sieger on sailing a good race. Unfortunately there was another hole at the finish line and we ended up wrong side of it... Still coming in 19th overall and 5th in age category(over 70).
Aboard were: Sieger, Dale, Ian, Antonio
