Thursday 4/6 - third but not a lot in it


No Stephen for this thursday evening race. A nice 14-17 knots from about 230. Flew the Owen Sails Medium No. 1 with full main and the all-white kite. All the crew seemed to be taking it in turns to convince Darren to store the pole on the boom, it worked..

We got spun out by Sapphire on the start which I thought was a bit much but I suppose that's the game and maybe we're more of a threat than we were. Steve Fraser was driving - we'd have been better to port tack start in a fleet of 5 boats and get clear air on the right because that was the favoured side of the beat.

Anyway 3rd WSC handicap and 3rd IRC. Still in second in the series.
