June Series 2
We had plenty of wind tonight, from the southeast. The course was set for a more southerly wind, and it backed before the start. K. sailed with me today and despite her protests that she was out of practice, she did well.
I was a little late to the start, and probably should have sailed for a start at the pin end, seeing that the port tack was the long one. The reaching leg was too tight before the jybe for the kite, and I was glad we had moved the sheets and halyard around before the the race anticipating a set on port tack. Our second beat was very good, we found ourselves lifted even further near the end of it and gained some distance on a boat ahead. We had a minor spinnaker wrap on the second set, but it was cleared quickly, and we had some fine boat speed going downwind.
I had hoped to have a track from the other DS in the fleet, but unfortunately his GPS wasn't set up correctly to record the data. We will try again next week.
