Race Area
Wind approaching the land with quite an angle already.
Start
Almost no bias. New Wave was the only one close to the line. Others were quite behind.
1st Upwind
Wind pretty much stable. There were some very expensive tacks and bear aways on the right layline. Mostly caused by boats a bit back not trying to find a solution to get out of the right side sooner with a bit extra space to tack again if needed. The boats are so equal that you fight for a single meter for minutes and then drop a lot by a large bearaway.
Top Mark
Arethusa cutting the corners the best
1st Downwind
New Wave gaining a lot after the gybe. Arethusa with quite a loss. The course was also skewed so early gybe was a good thing to do.
Gate Rounding
Some gate bias, Gamecock gained on Arethusa
2nd Upwind
Fleet compressing. Great lane of Vigilant bringing them closer and Gamecock has taken the lead from New Wave. Also looks like Gamecock went a over the layline, allowing New Wave to jump in.
- Place of loss for New Wave
- Great lift for Vigilant
- Loss for Arethusa
2nd Downwind
New Wave rolled by Gamecock. Arethusa used that fight and has gained nicely with the early gybe. Vigilant has gained enough to almost overtake NewWave. Just got rolled after the gybe at the end. Looks like they could sail a bit longer before gybing to keep some distance from New Wave.
