February 18th Racing - 3rd Sunday of the Month - Pursuit Race

Beautiful day thanks to Mike and Pete on OOD and AOD. I had a wonderful day, sun was out sky was blue the wind was amazing. Some really tricky in parts (upwind couldn't tell if the gust would lift or head), but great gains made, gust spotting downwind. Brilliant course of 2, 4, 9, 5, 0, A - I think there were a few navigational issues afoot, but we all got there in the end. The ILCA 4 lead off the start line with the x2 ILCA 6’s 5 mins after then the ILCA 7’s. I think 14 ILCA’s in total very impressive. 1x Contender and 2x RS400 and an ISO made up the rest. Micky lead the ILCA’s round the windward mark. There were some pretty close racing in groups the ILCA 6’s were battling it out Pete lead the ILCA 7’s for a good hour followed by Matt, then me (Tony). Micky, Alan and Leo were having another tussle. Then I'm not really sure what happened after some really close racing. Matt got in front and built up quite a lead ahead of Pete, then me and we stayed like that. Then Alan and Micky. Gotta thank Andy, Mike and Pete for safety and ROing full results are in the results section of the website. Thanks for an epic days sailing and have a great week.

Cheers Tony
