Having lost racing on Monday the Race Committee planned on getting three races in today. The Forecast was good with a building breeze from 10-18 knots and the sun was out.
Racing started on time in a nice steady (slowly oscillating breeze) On the North course the races were sailed back to back with only a short space between races, just enough time to grab some drink and food from the coaches. However the South course seemed to take much longer.
By the end of the day the usual Workum chop had built and the breeze was gusting 20 knots. This made the sail home from the South course a very long and tiring one, taking around and 80 minutes upwind! Not ideal considering the amount of effort that had been used in racing, there were some very tired sailors to say the least.
Highlights for the day are the results of Georgina Povall who scored 3,2,3 to move up to third overall.
The forecast for the next two days is very windy, Wednesday is 25-35 and Thursday a little lighter, so let’s just hope we get some racing in. The fleet has now been re flighted into Gold, Silver, Bronze and Emerald for the Boys and Gold and Silver for the girls.
