Wednesday Evening Race

2025-08 Race 3 Winds F4 - F5 North easterly Dawn Russell OOD selected course 2: giving us a different approach to Penrhos mark then a good upwind leg to Meath before rounding Clipera and back to the finish line. With a reduced crew from the expected 7 we welcomed Helen back on board for the first time in ages. However this meant that the decision, without Sean and Matt, we would not fly the spinnaker; just using the jib and the Code Zero. As the start was a beat to round the end of the Old Aluminium Pier we held off getting the jib and preparing to get the Code Zero unfurled. Houdini had a much better start than us this time and was flying her symmetrical kite as they headed down to Penrhos. Flair IV took an earlier tack on the way back to Clipera to try and regain some of the gap to Houdini but she was clear by a couple of minutes as she rounded the mark and headed back into the New Harbour. Tonight there were 4 entries, Houdini, Flair IV, Aquilibre and Hellhound. Series results: https://halsail-1e484.kxcdn.com/Result/Public/90891
