Quick update this time, woke up a bit late and we start racing at 10am today.
Yesterday was the first time ROman and Hansi have ever raced an X40 so it was a sttep learning curve! But we managed to round the top mark in the firt race in 2nd place which was awesome, but then we slipped back to finish 5th in that one, just detail things that caught us out at the marks etc.
Second race was interesting... We were fighting with Oman Blue for a good port start position and just as we crossed the line we had them to leeward and had Shirley approaching on starboard, so we tacked and Oman Blue tried to duck her..... not quite, actually not even close! They nailed her really hard... So Shirleys team got an early shower and we had a short wait while Oman sorted their issues.
In the Restart we had a perfect launch off the line and lead all the way round to win, Very happy boys!!
There were 4 more races and we finished 4th in most I think, again the little detail things kept coming up and in the debrief we worked our way through them so we can tackle today with a bit of direction.
