So there was no club race for us on Saturday, because of the 16′ state titles being held in the club. That meant an early start and early finish was required to get some practice time in.

The breeze took a little while to come in, however it was enough to get a full hour in and hitting a top speed of 19.1 in less than 20 knots of breeze, so I was pretty happy with that.

A slight setup tweak and technique change meant I only landed one of my gybes, whereas I really struggled at Belmont the week before, mainly due to the issues with my flap connector.

It would have been a great day for a club race, but alas, that will have to wait until Saturday. Fingers crossed that we will have better weather than today.

The boat is the best it has ever been, with performance upgrades due to go on after SIRS, things are definitely moving in the right direction.
