Wednesday Afternoon GO Sailing

September 26, 2024

WIND: N –  N/E   15+ knts

COURSE: 25A  (old course B)

NUMBER OF BOATS: 29

 

An Easy Choice!

A good breeze from N to N/E at 15+kt  and with the tide still flooding made it an easy choice of Course 25A .

A beat to windward up to the St. Helena Red had the fleet working hard but the run to Hope Banks and reach to the finish line saw speeds of some of the Mono’s exceeding 10 knots.

A great sail by Danu and J9 in just over 80 minutes.
