I called DI who said we managed 2nd place after Six Pack - a come alive L34 with a blackbelt crew. They were so far behind that it must have been very close! We were 4th in Spinakers in the series according to DI - amazing if one considers our no-shows and general performance - must take a look at complete results to understand this. The boat is flying. Helming without instruments is really not a problem because one feels it in the pants. Watching the windshifts can really boost our chances. On Saturday I saw Windsong (with alll of the blackbelts on board) being headed on our way in to the harbour wall from Paarden Island. We tacked back out onto Port. Six Pack, way back, followed us far a short while but then tacked back to follow Windsong. It was on this leg that we really nailed Windsong. Paul Mare :lol:
