Credit: With it being a little cooler this morning the breeze came in early and racing started bang on time at 10.00am. We had a bye in the first race so we had an opportunity to have a good look at the race course, basically very shifty and wind ranging from 6-13 knots.
First race saw us up against the Australian team helmed by Nicky Souter. After controlling a tight pre-start, racing remained close but we extended on the final downwind to start our event off with a win. With such shifty conditions races were close all day but we sailed well to win against the Danish, Italians and Argentineans but unfortunately lost by less than half a meter to the American team helmed by Anna Tunnicliffe.
It looks like conditions will be similar tomorrow when we’ll be completing the round robin stage racing against Brazil, Portugal and the French, we still have to wait and see whether we’ll be on in the morning or afternoon.
