Race Area
Start
Rc favored. However, looks like boats below were just performing better after the start. Flirtation and Mathilda getting ahead of the rest.
1st Upwind
Flirtation and Mathilda popping ahead after the start. Later on they have lost to Rogue, Tango and RacerCC. Flirtation quite soon after the start, Matilda later on, crossing from left to the mark against the shift.
Was a lot about catching and playing the shifts. Overall slight left trend after the initial right shift, but Tango ended up OK even from more right.
Clean sailing numbers, sorted by VMG
Top Mark
Looks like big left shift on top. Karabos going almost up the ladder on port.
1st Downwind
Gybeset gaining and HKG had the fastest time of the leg. Tango especially losing in the middle.
Tango pretty red in the middle
Gate Rounding
13m bias. Matilda’s loss to Flirtation clearly visible.
2nd Upwind
The wind going left. Rogue extending the lead.
Arrows pointing the wind shifts. Boats sailing against clearly red, especially those on the right layline.
2nd Top Mark
2nd Downwind
Flirtation the fastest, similar time to Rogue. Tango losing to the boats around.
