Another down wind down tide start but manged the spinnaker hoist better this time and were in the leading
bunch of boats. Pretty light winds to begin with but made it up to the forts with the tide under us but then the
wind died and sat in the car park for nearly two hours before the South Westerly filled in allowing all the smaller
boats to catch us and gain time. Wind for still fairly patchy as the wind front edged past us. Cut inside
Bembridge to get to West Princessa and once round it was sheets eased back to the forts. Inside No Mans land
heading for the Ryde pole to keep out of the shallows then hardened up for the finish. Bit tight as to whether we
could make the finish on a single tack but managed it ok. Wind picked up in places and some lumpy seas. Just
pipped Skua IV on the line but they got us on corrected. Last in class but this was expected due to the nearly 2
hours of dead time at the forts.
