2nd place from a slow start on day 4

Not a nice start today... cold, wet and not much wind from the South. Start was postponed by 10 minutes while they waited for some wind to fill in. Start wasn't great, 11th overland, but as the wind came in and got up to a fairly steady 15-19 knots we started to overtake the boats ahead. By the final mark we were up to 6th place, but then Beachwood Homes and Incognito got into fight for the places, dragging in the other boats, we sailed clear to come over the line in second behind Amey Loveshack. No sails destroyed today, so a pretty good day all round! We're still leading the class by 1 point, with a total of 7 points overall. We're also 7th overall in Black Group, (the ~500 boats in the to 20 classes).

Keep in those lead positions and keep that points total low and I could also be on a winner! Sounds like you are enjoying it though, keep up the good work.
