Today racing was held in lighter breezes on a Sunny LA day. The smog burned back by race time with a seabreeze slowly building from the left and clocking right slowly. I forgot my start watch and had not so good starts today. In the first race I worked back to 21 which was okay.
The second race start was no better and i was forced to take the game plan to the extreme and hope the wind would swing right earlier than expected, so i banged the corner and came out about 20th at the top mark. I worked my but off downwind and the next upwind to catch up to the front of the fleet, i then had a good battle on the last upwind to get 5th. Overall today was good fun, got sunburnt though so i am a bit sore, i’m now coming 7th overall and looking forward to tomorrow!
cheers

Ryan - sunburnt - not a good idea. Wow, your up there - next time take your start watch - your racing at worlds - cannot afford to be forgettable. Glad your having fun - good luck for tomorrow - stay safe - love you Mum & Bianca XX
we love you!!!
Keep up the great work Ryan you and your Team Noosa twin possess a great attitude and deserve the success. I guess the watch which was keeping good time in your sail bag would have been handy but more importantly you showed what it means to have natural talent and a great spirit.
Consistency his the key.
Best wishes for the remainder of the regatta.
