Report from Caitlin Middleton:
I had a fantastic day racing.
The wind was 9-15kts SSE and then shifted to S with the tide coming in at the start and slacking during the racing.
After last seasons results I set myself a target of P10 to P15 as a happy medium which is progressive compared to before.
I had reasonable starts for each and for the first 2 races and was right in the mix. I worked on my strategy and managed to keep battling all the way through, finishing 6th in each.
For the 3rd race I had a great start and first beat, tacking at the right time, giving a 2nd place for the majority of the race. The guy behind me got a little boost coming to the end and just pipped me on the line meaning I finished 3rd.
The last race went pretty much to plan also and I was in a great 2nd place again. Then all of a sudden I lost it with an unexpected gust and capsized the boat. When I’d recovered unfortunately I’d dropped down the order and finished in 7th.
The day was a total success in my view, as I finished 6th overall with the P6, P6 and P3 counting.
Looking forward to going to WOBYC in the Norfolk Broads next month and see if I can keep it up.
Once again a big thank you to Meyer Office Solutions Ltd & Clarks Groundworks and Landscaping for sponsoring me. This couldn’t happen without you.
