The winds were light from the north. This was the last of the fall series. The 18:00 start time meant that we had only 1 hour and 6 minutes before sunset. The first start attempt failed. The Committee boat was the favoured end and there was a huge traffic jam. Many boats were over early. We were well behind the start line. Fortunately there was a general recall.
Our second start was much better. We were near the committee boat and just behind Hardtack. (In the video below Aristosera is obscured by the bigger boats.) We had clear air, which is a big deal in a mixed fleet.
Things went well. Our tacks were good. Good crew work: Kevin on foredeck and Nick with the sheets. We finished behind Victory Dance and Papillon but ahead of others in our division. Jazz won on corrected time.
Two second finishes and a third; overall, we had a 2nd place in the Fall Series.
