Nope ... I actually capsized. This was Race2 at the last C(g) rounding. One of the Nacra17's also capsized as he was checking that I got back on the boat and caught a gust and flipped too. Sorry! I quickly got the boat righted and finished without any boats passing me....yippee.
So that explains the elapsed time difference between the numbers 1,2,3 and 4 (by 3 min) and 5 (by 6 min) in race 2 !
Basically, the skippers participating in race 2 : Chad (F17), Tom (F16), Terry (F16) and Mike (F17) were mere seconds apart on the last mark rounding before finishing with Bob Curry (F17) being some 3 minutes in front of this pack !
Nothing like a bit of photographic evidence as counterweight the rumours and stories on the beach and forums afterwards.
