Today’s racing was in a much softer breeze of 3-6knts out of the North. But again, our speed was subpar (probably the worst comparison wise of the event), making for a very difficult series of races. The most notable implication of our slower speed came when trying to hold a lane, along with acceleration following tacks and gybes.
Through all the frustration with our speed there were a few positive glimpses (what we have to aim for in this event) in two of our three starts, where we were able to hold our hole, and start with a clear lane.
So, one more day of racing here. Forecast is calling for a little bit more, so hopefully we can end with some decent finishes with slightly better speed. But realistically, we plan on practicing specific maneuvers, the starts and anything else achievable in a 29 boat fleet.
