This week we had a dock start. The wind at the dock was very unstable, 6 – 8 kts. with long lulls to 3 kts and sharp gusts to 12+. The wind direction cycled between 250° and 290°M. The onset of rain did not change the wind.
The wind had been checked earlier at the Boat Haven and had been found to be much steadier, ~7 kts from 280°, which made YT a good W/L leg, so course SDYTYDF (5¾ nm.) was set.
A reaching start in such an unstable wind makes it very difficult to judge speed, time and distance from the line, but after the practice gained from a General Recall (over half the fleet was over early, some by more than a boat length) the second start was mostly good.
Next week we should be back to using a Committee Boat.
