We had a good day for the most part...our upwind speed is picking up and our downwind smarts are keeping us in the hunt. We placed 6th the first race and the second race rounded the top mark in 4th but our kite halyard had a couple of things to say about that. It dropped 3 times and the last time the whole kite went under the boat. We had to flip to clean it up and the kite in the process ripped on the rudder. We didn't want to risk a massive rip so we decided to get a DNF for that race. We still are in 8th but a little further away from 6th place than we want at the moment. Plenty of racing and gnarly conditions to come so I'm confident we will be moving up.
