(04.04.07) 2 light wind races
Today saw a lighter forecast and the breeze steadily dropped throughout the day to fit in with this. We had a better day and again were sailing fairly well but weren't conservative enough on the last lap of the first race and lost a good 7 or 8 places which saw us finish about 17th. We were in the mix again in the second race but struggled to pick the last 2 upwinds and had a similar finish.
(03.04.07) Bad day on the water
With the stronger breeze definitely having been our strength and lighter breeze being our weakness in Miami we have made a couple of setup changes and are using a different main and jib. We can safely say that we are piecing together a few ideas for Cascais whilst also learning from our mistakes.
