Race Area
Same race area as last race. Wind bend playing the major role and place where to hit the shore is crucial.
Start
There is almost no bias at the start; note that I have no pin end pinged, so I just put all the boats behind the line. RC’s position is good. Pretty sure the line was probably longer than this.
Yandoo with the best start, but even more important, to the leeward of the fleet and gaining. Only Vaikobi had decent speed at the gun, all the others pretty slow.
1st Upwind
As before, it is all about sailing to the center of the wind bend and using it. All the boats tacking soon are losing and going much lower to the land. After the tack, there is a lift on the way to the top and often there was need to tack again to get even more left breeze. For some reason Dark Knigh sailed very low on that port tack.
Vaikobi had good run with Andoo and after the leader Yandoo capsized, was close until forced to duck a boat. Ducking is pretty expensive with such a long hull+bowsprit.
Left bend throughout the upwind
Top Mark
More expensive bear aways by Black Kn and Yandoo managed to sneak in front.
100m to and from the mark stats
1st Downwind
Yandoo overtaking Vaikobi at the hoist. All the boats going to the corner. Black Knight gaining a bit on Vaikobi.
Gate Rounding
Wrong gate and big loss by Vaikobi to Black Kn
2nd Upwind
Still the same scenario. Going left paying. Two tacks of Yandoo, probably too close to the mark to take the advantage of being more left and too expensive to be done. Losing place to Black Knight. For Vaikobi, rounding the bad gate created even more problems since it took them to the path too far below the cape.
2nd Downwind
Very similar tracks of the boats, all within a few seconds
The highest speed of the day. Shaw and Yandoo both at 21.9
