well the big day arrived, with a d zero open and comet nationals at the club all weekend it was time to sail Mutley93
however a covid problem canceled the event but club racing could still go ahead
the boats that had arrived were ok to sail as well as club members, the boat was rigged and then found i had left the tiller extension in the van, one of the d zero guys Nigel lent me his as he was in the comet nationals.
with the oat ready i set sail and looked forward to some good racing, i was surprised how responsive the boat was.
a few shaky gybes before the start i headed off at the back of fleet but started catching boats one by one.
the wind picked up in places during race 2 and some good battles took place. my tiller and mainsheet coordination was a problem but soon got used to the correct way
two races done and 2 hours on the water i was knackered with the boat position u had to be in .race 3 i missed but needed to have food and drink to recover.
very pleased how it went.
