Try racing one of the eleven Classic yachts with their lee gunnels down while
belting to windward on a Port Phillip Sunday morning in 25 knots. Rio is a bad
second in the excitement stakes.

Free at last!! What a make up for two lost races. gusts and waves breaking over the St. Kilda breakwater.

Yes race 8 more than made up for the two lost races. Sure losing two those races is a concern as we need keep our 25 knot racing
experience up to scratch. But what do you in situations where unlike race 8 the actual wind conditions for these lost races was similar to
race eight but the forecast predicted close to gale conditions. You cancel the race and move on.
