Hi guys. So day 4 of racing went well for the most part. Robert and Aydin we put into the emerald fleet. The first race only started around 14.30 as we had to wait for the breeze to come in. Measuring about 22knots. Robert had a great day in race 7 he got a 13th place and in race 8 he placed 17th. Aydin placed 58th in race 7 and unfortunately 27 sailors were BFD on race 8 and he was one of them. We still believe he was unlucky as he didn’t seem to think he was over the line but the race committee has the better perspective. Will need to try and pull up some places in the next few days.
So second last day of racing. We had a late start again with the wind only picking from 14.00. The wind was around 20-22 knots. We had a second failure on Robert’s sail this time but with the same problem with the sprit pulling out. So it was a mad rush to send request forms off and change sails again. Luckily the staff was very helpful and extremely quick in getting Robbie to the start on time for the first race. At least he mad it without any penalty. The racing is extremely close with the fleet all really close rounding marks. So any small mistakes and you lose 10 places in the blink of an eye. Robert finished 36th and 40th moving to 237th overall and Aydin finished 59th and 58th staying in 275th. So last day today to see what we can do against an extremely tough fleet.
All the results
