Similar conditions greeted us for the second day of the Sail for Gold Regatta. Based on our performance on the previous day we were very happy with the rig set up and boat speed.
Because we were alternating with the 49ers, it was our turn for an early start. At 11am the gun for race 1 went. The wind was again very trick and there were some huge gains and losses over the course. It was impossible to be on the right side of all of it, but generally we did a pretty good job over the day.
In all 3 races the brits dominated the front, and there was some great racing between us, very nip and tuck all the way to the finish line. we eventually ended up with a score line of 2,3,2 a solid day in some testing conditions.
We are now second overall but on joint point with first so to say its close wouldn't do it justice! More breeze for tomorrow which is good, i fancy a bit of trapezeing!
