YCW Spring Series - Race 1

After all the rain we've been having, the first race of the season on easter sunday was comparitively warm with mid teens wind gusting to early twenties.

What can I say? There were 5 boats in the IRC class and we were fifth! In hindsight our port start put us on the right in clear wind (all the other boats were faster than us), but maybe we should have stayed with the fleet.

Our first gybe of the season saw the first broach. All a bit rusty and I suppose there was a fair amount of wind. Good times though. Need those new sails, No. 3 seems to be disintegrating!
