Saturday was the first 2 heats of the Fremantle Sailing Club Huck Scott Winter Series. The Cold morning saw Brendon rock up in a pair of UGG boots then complaining about his cold wetsuit.
There was a northerly breeze of about 10 Knots and the 2 heats went smoothly. Our focus was more on technique than racing with the team focusing on weight movement during the lulls and puffs. We are waiting for Impact to come out from the repair shop so we can have another boat to train against.
Upwind the Tasar 'unleashed' was fairly competitive with us proving that the upwind planing ability of the Tasar Hull. Downwind however Brendon was able to trapeze in the puffs and Vita was off.
Next race is a road trip to Port Lincoln for the SA frostbite series on the 12th & 13th of June. The team is setting off on the 10th and Due back on the 15th. Updates of the trip will be posted.
Cheers
Vita
