Bala long distance race 22nd june 2019

the long distance race started off with next to no wind
i decided to sail the A class for it first trip out . with the boat all rigged with help from prev owner mike allen we waited for a 1pm start  sun was out and a long 4hr race was ahead.
the wind was all over the place but good progress was made down the whole of the lake to a mark close to the bottom as they could
at one point i was 5th on the water but rounded in 11th
i then slipped down the order in flukey down winds the boat was responsive and was nice to sail.
i lost my d18 worlds hat but it was picked up by the safety crew.
it was hot and at the end of the day was drained. a barbecue followed at 630pm  i had one pint of purple moose snowdonia ale and that was me done. i had to move van and teardrop trailer in the campsite, when i led down fir a rest that was it
i didn't go back to club as planned as i was very dehydrated.
captured it on go pro as well so pics to follow
3hr55 sailing 3 laps
finished 41st on handicap from 53 starters
12/13 cat
not a cat day at all but was a good first sail
