Saturday, October 8

Series: Saturday B

01  |  X36 Dolphin
02  |  X13 Mischief
03  |  X 54 Lark

An excellent and interesting afternoons sailing with tide and wind shift considerations with a 3-4 force north westerley wind.  Lark was gate boat but the other two boats were still late to cross the line.  However Dolphin pulled ahead with a correct tack towards the end of the first beat. Mischief was catching Dolphin on the downwind leg but then had a touch of the slows on the next beat (pinching, too tight on the main and the kicker) which allowed her to get away again.  A great and enjoyable afternoons sailing
