False Bay Spring Regatta
09.20.04 (12:02 am)   [edit]

Oh Boy,


Not great news from the first weekend. Race one held in wet and cold conditions - still the weather is no excuse for our poor performance (5th). PG Majimoto was just not her usual self: small - but costly - crew errors dogged us for most of the day.



Rain and the bitter cold did little to bolster spirits ...


A crew pep-talk on Sunday caused a shuffling of positions, which saw fewer mistakes: - but Maji's usual speed was still elusive -  a far cry from the fast yacht that saw us romp into second position the previous weekend. Constant attention to trim and pretty good decsions did little to improve our position - and it was a despondant crew that packed the yacht up after the days racing.

Three days left of the regatta (next Friday, Saturday and Sunday) give us a chance to redeem ourselves ...
