Race Area
Start
Solid RC bias, still many boats there did a bad start or had to go back. This opened up opportunity for Tyra that could go full from the start while all the other boats were slower.
1st Upwind
Right wind created start line bias, but also has skewed the course. With starboard to port ratio of 2:1, this would usually make it safer to go left first. However, boats going left had a hard time to cross to the mark later, right side gaining. SailRacer performed very good, sailing higher than anyone on long starboard tack. It looks like the wind went left exactly at the very end of the leg.
- hard cross for left boats
- Late left shift
Top Mark
Very similar timings for all except Spika.
1st Downwind
Skewed course and early gybe needed. Fin787 possibly gybing too late, allowing Liquid Sun to gain. Sail Racer sacrificed some meters after an early gybe in the wind shadow, but later was steadily gaining.
Gate Rounding
Fin787 Overlapping Liquid Sun. Liquid Sun going wide and losing a lot. No bias between the marks and gate marks were very close together. Fin787 and Spika with the fastest rounding time.
2nd Upwind
Long tack first has paid this time. Tyra gained well to Liquid Sun and Fin787. Happy ended up the victim of skewed course and went over the layline.
- Place where right boats were losing
- Very high lane of Sail racer
2nd Downwind
Another one way leg. This Time Fin 787 catching on Liquid Sun a bit, especially after the earlier gybe to the finish. Tyra also gaining, just lost a bit due to luffing close to the finish.
