Olympic Series Medal Race

After an 8 hr shift working over at the Olympic Venue, watching a unsuccessful day of sailing medal races, for which all were cancelled due to the light wind, I couldn't wait to get out there myself and take part in our own Medal race on Farr Out. After many jokes about Adam's New hat we headed out into the bay for a gentle race around the Olympic course directly in front of the Nothe Fort, where our spectators included men in High-Vis Jackets and a bunch of seagulls. After a dodgy start which involved penalty turns on the line we headed up to the upwind mark with the full team on board (majority of whom were sunbathing). The only thing Steve reckoned would have made this evening any better was to have a Martini whilst sunbathing on the foredeck. Everything on this evening went very smoothly and we enjoyed plenty on friendly banter with boats we were passing.  In the overall series, we came 2nd, great result, Results Table available via the link
