Twilight Racing Sutera Harbour

Once again  the bi monthly twilight challenge was held of Sutera Harbour Marina. there was a brisk wind which made some interesting sailing for the half dozen or so sailors who took part.. Adults sailing an optimist dingy designed for youngsters  means you struggle to duck under the boom and the tiller extension has a knack of jamming under the gunwales when tacking so you risk a capsize.  At least one boat was in trouble before the start and a couple returned to Sutera Harbor Marina without completing the course.
Any way good fun was had by all and there where a few  surprised prize winners. I managed to get around the course with the fastest time but was lucky when an extra lap was added and I got a gain on a slight windshift to the windward mark,
