Good grief! I'm on the Y&Y web site! www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/default.asp?article=156653I came 9th overall out of 22 with results of 5 (11) 10. Streakers were 1st and 3rd, with a visiting N12 splitting them. The chap that came first has won all the handicap races in the Spring series so far. I beat a couple of Streakers, the Solos, an Enterprise and some lasers so I was quite happy with my sailing. I'll put a bit more detail in my blog but in the first race the wind was moth weather but then freshened and I had difficulty keeping up in races 2 & 3. A bit of tactical naivety resulted in a poorer finish in the last race than I really deserved as well; got caught on port at a starboard rounding windward mark on the first and went from 4th to 9th rather quickly! I'm going to work out what PY I sailed to from the results and should be able to build up a better picture as I sail the moth in an informal series on Wednesday afternoons. The Streaker is still getting sailed in the Sunday Series though. |

For information, after running the results through the RYA spreadsheet I sailed to the following PYs:
Race 1 (5th of 20) - 1167 (in almost perfect moth conditions)
Race 2 (11th of 21) - 1199
Race 3 (10th of 16) - 1244 - deemed "poor" by the RYA spreadsheet but my mainsheet block had come off its strop and I was sheeting from the boom for the final beat, run and reach.
So I averaged 1203 but the last race skewed it a bit so 1190 is a bit nearer the mark.
I know three races isn't really enough data but I shall continue gathering info over the informal Wed afternoon series and Wed evening handicap, through the summer.
