We motored out. The wind was from the south but the PRO still sent us a long way south to set the start. The wind was 185ish. The line was long and fairly set. There was a good wind with a bit of chop.
We had a good start on the left side of the course. We waited for Windburn to tack; we were clear ahead of Windlight. We were second boat rounding the windward mark (a J 22, which had not registered for the series, was clear ahead). There was a good hoist after rounding. We gybed to keep clear of windlight. We sailed pretty much dead downwind to the leeward mark. Windburn caught up. Perhaps I waited too long for the takedown. It did not go well and Windburn took the lead
The course was changed; the wind had shifted west we had a good rounding shooting the mark ahead of Windburn i e we had once again were ahead. Winburn was able to pull away on the downwind and finished clear ahead. The J22 was lead boat well ahead of the fleet
We knew we lost to Windburn but it would be close with Windlight . Jazz, although well behind, won on corrected time with Windburn second and Aristosera. Third. Very fun race.
