    Start

    Big RC bias. Tyra just a bit over. With racesense you always get caught and there are no general recalls, so you need to be extra careful.

    Liquid sun had the best start at the RC. Happy also sailed OK after the gun.

    1st Upwind

    Right shif after the start, bringing FIN and SailRacer back in the game. At the top, it was better to be on the left side, Tyra closing on fleet there, Happy losing. The wind was quite more stable in direction than in the race before.

    1. Boats not tacking after the start pretty red
    2. Slight Right shift
    3. A bit of left at the end

    Top Mark

    Boats with extra two tacks losing.

    1st Downwind

    Skewed leg. All the boats gybing early and making the layline. Happy had issues at the bottom mark approach.

    Gate Rounding

    All about clean drop and trying not to go too far downwind. Liquid sun cut the corner the best, staying high.

    2nd Upwind

    Right wind and pretty skewed leg. Liquid sun got right wind on top of the others, extending the lead. But later on, they were the ones getting headed into the others, losing it all again. They were drawing quite a curve on starboard tack. Also losing from FIN 787 that was more right and probably had the best 2nd part of the leg.

    2nd Downwind

    Once again skewed course, early gybe was needed. Liquid sun had trouble and SailRacer overtook them. Then it was straight line to the finish, Tyra ended up being the best, sailing a bit lower than the others. Happy also managed to sail a bit lower course with similar speed.
