How about you? a lot of boats went to the shore and got hammered...

We where a bit heavier at 176KGs <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
On the first leg to the lighthouse we decided to stay a bit further of the coast than you guys (about 1 NM).
During practice the day before this was the place with the most wind and seemed to pay of as we
overtook quite a few boats who where very close to the beach.

After the VC we went way too far out to sea, this is where we lost a lot.
It would have been wiser to have stayed with the rest of the fleet and put in some more gybes instead.

I see you where using the track-and-trace system:
