Autumn series 16102011

wind was light as expected. we were looking forward to the 2nd race of the series for us and got ourselves on the line very well. we did however mess the first tack when we touched tommy tipper.  we did our 360 penalty and then caught the rest of the fleet by the next lap only to lose it all on a very bad call by richard who decided to follow what nick was doing. fair play we wanted to do something different  but in this case it didnt work.
the wind was about 8-10knts too light to keep out of the way of the lasers, they did hamper us a fair bit at the start. pleased overall but more work needed on tacking and getting boat back to speed .

 

Saturday fun sail with Richard 15102011

wind was about 10knts, we decided to launch early to capture the little wind that was going to be around this weekend. so 10am we set sail and followed the coast and out to ballard, admiring the shoreline  the weather was sunny. it was a good sail and very relaxing. richard tried out the trapeze for the first time on this boat ready for tomorrows exciting series race.
sailed about 8miles + just over the hour.
