A beautiful evening for a sail. A little blustery to start with, which encouraged jibs to be flown
but, on the long run from "up there somewhere beyond Brownsea" back to NC12 most opted to
change to genoas in the fading breeze. Our foredeck crew completed this task brilliantly in a very
short space of time (yes the decision was a little late). However, the swapping sides of spinnaker
sheets for the run from Ro-Ro was not quite so crisp !! We had a great fun evening without
threatening the front four boats, Pheonix (who were very quick and took line honours), Madeleine,
Flying Colours and Crackerjack, who seemed to leave a nice healthy gap between themselves and
the chasers. Actually, we weren't that close to the second half of the fleet either !!
However, it is all good experience.
