How did it go yesterday Jeff?
We raced at Adelaide, 3 cats, Mozzie, Arrow and Nacra5.8, lots of dinghys, counted 20 between races and there was some casulties early on. Two races, 15 to 20knots Northerly, tide opposing the wind.
I think Jeff had a problem before the race and returned to the beach on the 5.8. Paul on the Arrow and myself started with the Sharpies, 470, Fireballs etc. I hung back at the start, avoiding the scrum, tacked onto port hit the layline plus a bit because it is more fun footing and rounded 150metres in front of the first dinghy. Surfed downwind, still drawing away from the dinghys with their spinnakers up and continued doing laps. Sailed two quick races. Highlights where racing aginst high quality dinghy sailors and of course the high sustained speeds that you get on day like that <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.
I sailed the same 3 lap windward return course as the Div 2 dinghys. The results are very close, I think our handicap of 84 works well.
