macdona cup race 26 th june 2010

the race was postponed for 45 mins or so due to a sea mist decending right across the whole of the bay .
when we launched it was just hanging of the edges of the cliffs so we could sail ok.
the course was a very small triangle sausage a  tim page special. at the start i went into irons just when i wanted to get going to the line, after crossing the line i crossed onto port tack and went to the right of the course to follow at a distance a few 18's rich and greg. the course was ok and on the sausage leg the best idea was to go back around 2 again as that was the best route for cats. i think that isd what alot of the 18s did but i did try another route as well. i think i was catching greg at the end, a good race in all and a few gusts to lift the hull as well. tacking on my own and doing the jib presented no problems as i was used to it on the d15.
as we finnished the mist decended again heavily and it was fun getting back to the club.
with not much wind for sunday i traveled home so no summer 3 for me
