Well today we had our first two races. Both were held in around 5-10 knots with a large South swell. First race, started with a sandwich between boats, shocking upwind as result and never getting into phase. A bad result. Second race was a glamour start, first to tack off and leading for a while up the first work. However I should have consolidated earlier lettting a few boats ahead of me at the top mark. I sat in 12th for the bulk of the race until one mistake (falling out of phase for like 2 mins) lost me ten boats. Amazing the difference one mistake can make in this competition. Result being a 25th. So currently sitting mid-fleetish, tomorrow supposed to be 25 knots, which technically not really my conditions but we’ll see what happens… otherwise, looking forward to tomorrow and a nother interesting day at Terrigal.
Kiwi coach boat goes snorkelling.
Cheers
