Day 3 - Race 2

We were 3rd across the line decide to start near the committee boat with the Thai Team. The Philippines and Malaysian Team were fighting their own battle at the other end of the line.

We caught up with the Philippines team and were fighting tack for tack just like match races. Towards the windward mark, we had a collation with the Philippines (we were on port tack) and had to do a 720 degree penalty letting the 2 other boats (Thai and Malaysia team 3) to cross us just before the windward mark.

Laying in 5th, we knew we had to pull something extra for at least a good finish and we did. We managed to find better winds on the right side of the course and caught up with the Malaysian boat which crossed us while doing our penalty. Then it was tack for tack with the Thai boat which we managed to beat and took back our possible. This is a real hard working race man.
This race we scored 3rd.
