This week, conditions were so good that we squeezed in a third race rather than waste all that wind. For the first race the Wind direction and the bearing to the windward mark were both about 270 deg. but the Pin was favored by about 20 deg. this was fixed for the second and third races by veering the wind about 20 deg. Before racing started the wind was around 10 kts with gusts to 15. Halfway through the wind had grown to 12 – 15 kts. with long gusts of 18+ kts.
