Sunday race

Wind forecast was 5-10kn but when we arrived at the starting line we had a stiff easterly with about 15-20kn and quite some chop. Thankfully we had Martin and Mayada helping us today, so that was definitely easier than doublehanded under these conditions. Got off to a great start, but the other boats pulled off quickly since they were rating much faster. We had great boatspeed with about 5kn upwind and even caught up with a Div1 boat. They missed the mark and got stuck there, all of a sudden shooting off in our direction. Quite a bit of yelling, crashtacking back and forth but no harm done (they withdrew from the race after that :-)). We finished a solid 4th (and last) place, but had a lot of fun! Went swimming at Cockenoe Island after the race.
