September Series 1
Unfortunately I didn't have my GPS configured correctly to record a track, but I did get the track from Jim's receiver. Here's the data
and the plot
We didn't do too well, our start wasn't in clear air again, and we fouled one of the Vanguards at the leeward mark. He had inside overlap and I intended to give room, but the waves caused me to bounce into him. I wanted to make the turn as early as possible, but there was a lot of traffic and we had to stay out of the way of several boats to do it. Jim sailed a very good last leg and caught us right at the end. and we finished 4th.
We might need to reduce our mast bend some in these lighter air conditions to give us more power.
