great night- windy, breezy, puffy, planing up and down, longer beats, shofty, warm, 5 races... 19 boats... great night on the cove.. beers and burgers...
Melanie knew the tricks on the cove; we banked on the port side mostly, got off the line clean, tried to keep it flat up the far port and then bang the shift. Really had to dig in there to get it but it was there. Few times the starboard came on strong in the middle of the course and it was a big question mark which side would pay.
Downwind was the hard part. Shifty, puffy, small narrow lanes. We almost always lost going down wind. It seemed to pay staying to the south and then come up at the bottom- but not always.
Solid racing. Fun starting line. Close numbers on the board below.
Hamburgers, plenty of beer and grub. Thank you social chairs- very well done!!!
ps- lasers had 14 with 6 races... they are gaining on us!!! |
