I was the only cat to showed and it was fairly one way. Only 1 18 showed for all the racing and it was a League boat too. Breeze blew on Saturday and we came close to lapping the 18 in both races with a very obvious speed advantage. Upwind was not even close however off the breeze we were only marinaly quicker.

Day 2 we were slammed on the start in irons by a 49er and watched the whole fleet sail away. Then went to the wrong side of the course on the first upwind and found the 18 at the top mark when we were only half way up. It was catch up from there and the breeze was only light (single trapping). In these conditions we were slightly quicker upwing where the 18 had same speed but better VMG down with the number 1 kite. We sailed a bad second lap also, however started to pick the shifts on the 3rd lap and finished within 1/2 a minute of the 18.

Race 4 we started under the 18, sailed out from underneath and raced the same lines around the course in about 8 to 10 knot breeze. Had a very clear speed advantage and ended up finishing about 4 minutes infront on a shortened (2 lap) course.

Our bad race in race 3 cost us the regatta finishing 6th on VYC. A 12 skiff won which has a VYC of 92...... We have to give them 22 minutes every 100.

12 scored - 2,1,1,2
We scored - 1,2,6,1
