Firstly, I feel a bit of a sham, writing the bullet blog, when clearly Tim and the guys on 254 laid the smack down on the evening. Nice work!

Back to when we were heroes… Our game plan for the race was to start towards boat and stay until we wanted to tack to then approach the top mark from the right with the tide going out.

Luckily we managed to basically do that. With good speed we lead back the bunch from the left and then hipped up on 36, who clearly nailed the beat from the right and also the starboard lay line from a mile out. Impressive!

Trailing down the run we hedged out of current, right side when looking down wind. We kept the bus trucking on the long port gybe, soaking low when loaded. This helped us over take and then extend a little. Left turn at the gate for current.

On the second beat we loosely covered to the left part way up the beat, but tacked to leeward of the two chasing boats when they came back on port. This gave them a little too much leverage to the left – not so smart in the left trend. So the game was back to being tight at the top for the second time aided by our way too aggressive starboard lay line call, making it by a hair.

None of us had great spinnaker sets, but an early gybe to aim for the finish and the same game plan as the first run helped us stretch again. Staying between the boats and the finish we left 254 and 108 to duke it out for second, which they did. This made it interesting for them and a little easier for us, thanks Tim and Jeff!

Big sigh of the relief on the 224 that the roulette ball fell into our pocket again. It is always an accomplishment to do well in this talented fleet and we certainly thank the whole fleet for the challenge every time we step on the Shields.

The lessons relearnt from this race were in this fleet the importance of a clean start, and a little room to go fast, along with the goal of leading back the pack on your chosen side. Good friends, a relaxed coed crew, and a few refreshments certainly helped too. But not enough to be zero again in the second race for the evening… refer to the beginning of the blog!.

Final thank you to our ever passionate owner, Walter Bundy, and our illustrious fleet captain and 224 skippah, Peter Clark.
