Worlds Day 3

Day 3 of the world championship was a blast. We had great seabreeze after some initial variability and shiftiness. The breeze settled in at around 30 degrees and 12-15 knots with a bit more in the puffs. It built as the day went on. It was a great day of sailing, and a great day of racing. The leaderboard took another changeup since the conditions were so different.

Team Ötzi posted our best score of the regatta with a 121 in race one, and we were doing even better in race 2, but we broke our tiller just before the 2nd windward mark rounding, and had to retire. This was a huge disappointment, because we felt much faster in the breezy conditions, particularly going downwind.

Tomorrow is our lay day and we plan to fix the tiller and maybe install a gybing centerboard.
