Race Area
Start
Some decent RC bias, putting Point1 in the lead at the gun. Within a minute, Rzjrn took the lead over from leeward. SuggarDaddy gave up quite some meters by starting at the pin end side.
1st Upwind
Pnt1 has tacked a bit under the layline, being a bit behind Rzjrn and Mtrn. On the way to the mark, at first, leeward boats were gaining since full left boats were a bit over the layline. However, there was much more pressure on the layline at the end. Even SugarDaddy which was way over the layline made it pretty good to the top mark.
1st Downwind
Straight set and going left has paid. Tutta Forza did a good job and gained in fast mode. They lost after they stopped using it. All the boats gybing early lost.
Leeward Gate
2nd Upwind
Pretty much defined by a nice right wind at the right side of the course. Zen had the fastest upwind, followed by Rzjrn and Bllb. Most left Pnt1 was the worst.
2nd Downwind
Wind went right to 254 and all of it was at the right side. A quick gybeset by Rzjrn and going into the fast mode was giving them big advantage. Boats from the back were gaining and compressing the fleet. If in doubt of going fast mode, being in a good shift can be another reason to go for it, since then fast mode becomes better.
