4th place finish despite torn Genoa at the start line, which took ~15-20 mins to replace.

15kts Gusting 25. Upwind, downwind and beam legs. Finished 10/15.

Late start to the race, around 15:00 delayed from 11:30 after very low winds. Good race with new boat and crew, learning the ropes! We scraped a sandbank and broached as we came towards to head at Cowes, which added some… excitement… to the day! Placed 8/12 in the race. Expecting to improve in following days!
