Round 5 has been a very rough race. The high wind speed variation on the long B1c course resulted in some surprising results.
Board leader Yuu Nakamichi not getting near the times of Toru Bracken and Heidi Stiglitz, who did an excellent job. Me quitting the race with an headache after race nr.2 of 4. And lots of capsizes, of both new and experienced skippers. I recall one race in which all 4 boats capsized before even making it to the first mark…
