Lay-day update

With 4 races finished the fleet is resting as a 35kn Northerly blasts accross the bay.

As you might have noticed I’ve had a pretty average regatta so far. Fair share of mistakes and lack of pace in the big breeze are probably to blame.

We seem to either get 5kn or 25kn. Nothing in between. Water is flat so control in big breeze hasn’t been an issue though.

I still think I can make a bit of a come back if we get a few 15kn races in. The boat is fast enough to win a race, however mistakes are costly with lots of fast boats around.

I’m currently sitting in 12th, which is way lower than my expectations and after coming 2nd and 3rd in the last two Nationals it’s something new to get used to. The game is getting tougher.

Anyway, I’m still confident and feel that I can perform better in the next few races.
