DAY 4 – NO WIND
No wind all day, so a very useful day to reflect.
DAY 4 ELIMINATION 4 – PLAN GOES WRONG.
Having had a nice rest day, the wind started light again, but still on my 7.8/105/36. With a full day to reflect I quickly worked out that the gybing was my strong point. Our three cam, easy rotation sail was so much lighter in the hands at the gybe mark, so for Elimination 3, I planned to utilise this to the maximum. So approaching the first gybe I positioned myself out wide to attack at the gybe. What I had failed to notice however was that there were three of the freestyle kids in the heat, who all dived inside of me and came out fully planing, leaving me with nowhere to go and
no hope. That was me done at the first mark and it was back to the
drawing board for more heat strategies.
