Offshore Championship Regatta January 24, 2010 Terracina: IV test
I'm sorry I did not picture this time, yesterday I forgot my coffee at home.
Anyway, I do not want to justify, but ..., to entertain the sailors, there is a job that a priori might not be noticeable but it is quite heavy. Already two days before we are at the naval base to place buoys, anchors, weights, ropes, flags etc etc gasoline boat. The day of the race then all the equipment committee GPS compass vane type anemometer must be run with fully charged batteries, then wing the boat prepares everything, and everything before the racers arrive ... all for FREE. Now as they say in Rome "while there 'is' that I forget the camera, no? We come to the race that once again, despite the light wind was fun, the positions at the head of the most aggressive alternated: in the first three rounds buoy Oldfox, Pina II and Joshua gave the show intersections with the cry of WATER! The others followed them even with their opponents Sterope Careers and Pina I, it must be said to be truthful, outgoing Pina I gave an excellent demonstration of reading the field starting on port tack at the mark (clearly favored). Halfway through the race the Race Committee by providing efficient too long to pull up the "S" and the race ended at the windward mark with Joshua and Oldfox who gave battle to the last intersection and Pina II was left a bit 'lingering due to lack of wind. Also good time and fun, too bad for the photos! The rankings do not we, the owners, and we are the fourth test, still have not delivered the certificates IRC so we can not draw up charts except that in real Oldfox sees in front of Joshua and II followed by Pina Pina I. We and Sterope DNF.
