Laser Race 3

A better race for Canadian David Wright, who lost a few positions over the race but regained a few spots and came in 10th. Tom Slingsby couldn't capture Pavlos Kondites, who stayed about 5 seconds ahead of Tom for the last leg. Ah wait - David has now moved up to 9th place unofficially in Race 3. The Uruguayan and the Guatemalan didn't do as well in this race.

Laser Races: First 2

Looks as if Canadian David Wright had an 18th and a 15th placing in the first 2 races. Slingsby done well at the top; Goodison has a 10th and 23rd place.

Dang Vang it!

Last night's race was much better, but I still have so much to learn. At 27 km/h winds, with waves, the races were fast. Things to still learn:

• windward mark turn & release for downwind
• gybing...how to get that boom around and sheet in as quick as possible!!
• layline...
