Exciting Second Day; in 15th at the Europeans!
The Race Committee decided to get ahead of schedule today by sailing four qualifying series races on the second day of the event. The wind was coming off the land, and with our course no more than a few hundred yards off the beach, it was very puffy and shifty. The wind ranged through thirty degrees and from 8 up to 18 knots. It was a trying day to say the least, and we came out no worse for the wear. We had an 11-17-10-1 score-line, which moves us up to fifteenth in the standings. There will be two more races Wednesday to fulfill the nine-race qualifying series schedule.
The difference between a 10th and a 1st today was miniscule. We can tell from experience! The wind was at such an angle that the right side would generally have more wind as it was away from the shore, but the left side would have some phenomenal pressure and favorable shifts that were less reliable. It was important to get off the starting line clean and be able to play the wind where you were. That said, one boat could be in 18 knots and pointing almost directly to the mark while another only 10 boat-lengths away might be in only 8 knots and have no way of getting to the more favorable breeze. It certainly made for exciting racing!
The final race was incredible. First of all, we had a near breakdown before the race began. Our jib-sheet cleat, which is mounted on a swivel in the middle of the boat, was ripping out of the deck. We tightened down the one screw that still caught and hoped for the best. Trevor meanwhile began to feel nauseous; he has been congested and coughing up phlegm since yesterday. We knew it was the last race, and we were determined to make it count. We had a great start, tacked into a perfectly winding lefty puff, and were in the top five at the first mark. We locked into a couple of good puffs downwind, and we were in third at the bottom. We continued to play the upwind well, and by the final lap we were in first. All the while the jib-sheet cleat was working its way out of the deck more and more with each tack. There was certainly no adjusting it! We made it around the course in the end and got the win. We were ecstatic; not least because it meant that Trevor could finally get to shore and rest up for the next day’s races!
