Race Log – Venture Class Conditions were stable with fair weather throughout, no precipitation, and generally light winds, which placed an emphasis on sail handling and maintaining momentum. My primary responsibilities were focused on rope work, including sail trim and execution during tacks. In the lighter wind phases, I assisted by holding the sail out to preserve sail shape and optimise drive. I also supported manoeuvring and stepping off during docking at the conclusion of the race. The boat finished 3rd in the Venture class, placing mid-fleet in a field of four to five competitors.
