Hi All
The F16 Challenge has just been completed over the weekend Feb 11 and 12 at Changi Sailing Club in Singapore.
Sat was 4 sprint races in the afternoon with beach starts and finishing outside the club. Around 5 knots of breeze and different wind angle for each race.
Sun was a long marathon race around Pulau Tekong. Only made about 1/4 of the 20nm distance. Wind completely crapped out to nothing and the tide was against the fleet big time. Took the fleet nearly 5 hours to do 1/4 distance. Not fun.
Thanks to Scott and Alice for organising a great event.

Cheers
