ROSS WILLIAMS
It was kind of similar to Yaverland on the Isle of Wight on a windy day. I am quite used to strong winds so I did not mind it. I was on my 6.4m and small board when the wind really kicked in on the wilder day. It was actually the best conditions we have ever had in Korea. It was proper sick racing but unfortunately I did not do so well. I had a spin out as was I nursing one of my gybes round the mark. I did not find the weed and debris too bad, but a few guys had problems. Traditionally high wind and seas are my ‘good’ conditions, but I just did not get in the zone. The course was great. The race was never over at the first gybe, we could race right around the course and still fight back. You could attack, overtake and undertake. The course was well set and with more wind we could play around with tactics. Because the water state was rougher, everybody does not race at their top speed like they do in flat water. That allowed for acceleration and skilled sailors to use the waves and swells to make up places.
