Perfect Conditions - Thurs 1/3

Well the third race of the thursday evening IRC series and we were third, narrowly having beaten Scoline by 3 seconds corrected time.

We had a great 12-15knot breeze from about 240 degrees with a windward mark of "D" and a laid leeward mark. The race officer sent the PY class around this mark to starboard and the IRC class to port - entertaining. Down the first run we had a fine tussle with Scoline as she flew her kite stbd pole and we were port pole.

We had all 6 of the regular crew onboard and it's such a delight when everyone knows the boat and does their level best to get her as fast as possible.
