Aberaeron Regatta day 3 R3 R4

r4

r3

 

set off early to sort Mutley93 and get hiim onto the slip way while it was low tide.

then it was a wait for the tide to come in, which it did quickly, Martin and Trystan showed up and eventually we got the dinghy out to the boat and then we were afloat.

we set sail as we were running late the wind got upto 22 knots going over to aberaeron and trystan put a reef in the main.

wind then dropped off as we got to ABeraeron and the start was slight delayed to allow us to start.

we had a good start and led all the way around, my job today was main and traveler and tyrstan did the winches for job.

it was hard work but paid off 1h18 race time , next in was about 3 mins behind.

after a cup of tea the race got under way with some rather starnge start sequances 

first notice we got  1minute to go lol

it was close racing all around lap 1 with a very close call at the line which made us do turns#

we caught back up and 2nd on the water

no idea of results as yet.

sail to Aberaeron and r3  9.1nm 2h01

8.9nm 1h54 r4 and return to New Quay
