We competed in the last evening race of the season, we now move onto sunday mornings.
Missing Stephen but the rest of the crew were there and it was a beautiful evening with sunshine and about 20 knots from the North.
After a great start in the front row on a short and congested line we did well up the first beat losing a couple of places at the mark and with an ayso hoist which was perhaps too shy. after reaching the first wing mark we found the next leg very deep and we had enough puff behind us to sail the ayso "wing on wing" which was fast. We could have got away with the next reach but were back up the fleet so kept it simple and white sailed it.
A great race but again beaten by the level rating Folio who always seem to overtake us. There can be only one of two reasons: 1, they're better than us 2, Folio is faster than FarrOut. I offered to swap boats for a race to find out. Chris declined politely...hmmm
