Another evening of uncooperative winds for the latest rounds of the Commodore’s Cup on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind shifted just before the start, leaving a fetch to the windward mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Mark B (AERO7) & Mike T (ILCA7) got away well, starting at the pin end on port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karen (Comet) was just behind, but the rest of the fleet were stuck in their dirty air. Steve S (Solo) also made good headway, but the other Solos of Ralph and Newton got caught with Hugh (ILCA6) at the windward mark. A lot of disagreement ensued of whether there was an overlap or not. This cost the three of them several boats lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further back, there was plenty of noise in the mid fleet as Aileen (Comet) & Hadey (ILCA6) were having a battle for both position and who was the loudest on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the positions remained lately unchanged throughout the race, but Ralph & Richard W (ILCA7) both passed Hugh, meanwhile, at the sharp end of the fleet, Steve S had passed Karen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the race, Mark B crossed the line 1st, with Mike T 2nd & Steve S 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Handicap, Karen was 1st, with Steve S 2nd & Mike T 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to Rick & his team for running the racing on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race, there was Lasagne & Crumble, made by Sally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re back racing on Sunday for the next rounds of the Spring Series<\/p>\n\n\n\n
