Small fleet but it was good fun. That course worked pretty well in NE-E 10knots as read from the A/P station. Thanks guys.

Width triumphed over area

Edit:
Actually apparently there is some rule about rounding to port, which Si didn't, so he and Dave are DQ'd and I won - if we really cared about that, which we don't, so I didn't

As Maxwell Smart would have said, "missed the top mark by that much" twice!! Cost me an extra tack and gybe each time - it's amazing how much ground you lose when you tack a couple of seconds too early!

Was a good afternoon, looked fun on the formulas, might have to look for an old raceboard, I wonder if you get more of a workout in those pre planing conditions. It picked up a bit as the storm came closer, so got a few good planing runs in the straps.
