4 races today in light and very shifty conditions and another in a solid 15+ blow…. Happy to be sitting second, but have some work to do do catch old Brett Burvill the sly Old fox..”
Brett Burvill’s sent us his : “… Yesterday was day 1 but with a stormy 28 deg day and up to 35+ kts sailing was abandoned after the boats made it out to the starting area with some teams already in trouble . Thursday dawned much cooler and rain early but 5 races were completed after about 7.5 hrs on the water . Light and shifty conditions with results showing all teams getting the wrong end of a shift at some time. Aus F18 AGM completed after racing with great enthusiasm for the 2021 worlds to be held in Western Australia …”
