First day of racing in Marseille saw us racing in light breeze and difficult conditions. We kept our goal of doing good starts and good boat speed, which we achieved both goals, so we are very happy about that.
The first start was very good, even too good as we got OCS (disqualification for an early start); but because they only let us know at the end of the race about it we kept going, and we did a very solid mid fleet result, only to get an OCS at the end. Not to worry though.
Second race was a bit more challenging with big wind shifts. We had a good start and good upwind. We only lost few places on small mistakes, as we are still learning the boat. We finished 23 out of the 35 boats fleet.
So pretty good first day, and hopefully we will learn from our mistakes and do better tomorrow.
