Race note: Race three a W/L twice round, we won by only one minute, in fresh-ish breeze of up to 10 knots, E at 080-100.  Race four, a geometric, triangle followed by sausage, in dying breezes, we won by 10.5 minutes.  A1 and J1 sails.  Great crew-work: fast and smooth gybes, good working upwind.
Results.
