Regatta Report
4/4/2006 - BOSW Day 4
On the final day of racing the winds were so light that they had to postpone the start of the first race until 1.30pm, with no start permitted after 3pm.
We had a good start in the middle of the line. Eventually, we were forced to tack, but it was just a little too early and the left pack just got in front of us and the right pack just crossed us too. We were in 13th at the first mark. Through some good decisions and good speed, we passed seven boats on the downwind leg, but at the very bottom of the run, the Finnish team blatantly fouled us and locked rails with our boat. Again we were playing catch up and passed group of boats to place 6th in the race.
We placed 9th overall in the regatta, but most importantly, this racing has helped show us what we need to practice before the next event.
