Race 7 of the 2013 CYCA Winter Series

16 June 2013 | Sydney Harbor
Sunny and moderate winds
The previous week was a non-pointscore race on the Queen's Birthday weekend, so we opted not to race and I continued on my task list of Nemmy jobs.

Crew (Jeff, Doug, Dan, Max, Luke, Andrew, Manuel, Ilse, Tessa)

With two races abandoned (one from lack of wind and one from too much wind) and a non-pointscore race skipped, it felt like forever since our last race. With a full crew, we started the race in medium wind. With a quick trip up to the mark, we knew it was going to be one of those days when we were passed just after the first mark by a competitor! At least it was another glorious and sunny winter day in Sydney! By the second lap most of our competition had passed.

The wind started to ease and this was spelling trouble for our race. We've found that we can't pace our competition in medium breeze or light airs, and CYCA cancels heavy conditions so we aren't allowed to test their mettle in the heavy stuff. The luck of the winds let most of our division have a fast race, with us a full 30 minutes behind the first place winner - Astral. Good on them! Until now, we have finished ahead of them every time, and sometimes only by the skin of our teeth! Talk about perfect conditions for her!
