Nick returned, but in view of his recovering hand, decided to do foredeck; Kevin was put on sheets. Wes was not available. No one was provided by the crew bank. It was another light wind night so three would be OK.
We motored out to the start just in time for the wind to die. The RC went into AP. Wind filled in from the south so after a brief delay we were able to start the sequence. The pin was very favoured. We were not at the pin (needless to say!).
On the first downwind leg Windlight rounded the leeward mark ahead of us. We had a good upwind staying in the centre. There were a few (very) close crossings with the Melgies; first with us ahead and secondly having to duck. We managed to gain on Windlight and were ahead of them going into the windward mark.
On the second downwind we were somewhat concerned about keeping clear of the big boats heading upwind. We followed a non registered J 22 (who was way ahead). Of the registered boats we finished first in our division but not enough to beat Windlight in corrected time. Jazz was third.
The Spring Series overall were also announced: Windlight, Jazz, Aristosera. Congratulations to Windlight for their well deserved win!
