IOM_11th March Event 2

Six stalwart skippers turned out to sail.

After a break the course grew a couple of legs: 3-Or-5,

the which were levered into the first lap.

4/Or - 7 - Ob - Z - 3 - *Or -5 - 7 - Ob - Z - 3 - 8/Y.

(*All marks port rounding except for 'Or').

Forward buoyancy of the 'moderns' surely helped at the top of A rig conditions.

Penalty turns fetched a high price, given the speed at which boats could get ahead.

Chart toppers today: 1st Place - JB #80; 2nd - SB #73; 3rd - LP #24
