Zamazaan Farr 52 - West point regatta at a Sequoia Yacht Club 2023 July ⛵

write up by OJ OLSEN

Windy day on the bay for sure, average wind speed 21kts.
great job team Zamazaan, 


good start at the boat end on starboard , tacked over and headed to Harding.. Two tacks to stay in the ebb and a bare away around the mark.
We stayed high heading towards the city front for a good angle to set the kite.
Kite went up and off we went towards the Bay Bridge.
After the Bay bridge the deep water channel was the track we wanted to be on and the wind angle was not letting us get there with the kite up, so we doused the kite and headed up with the jib to catch the flood tide river on the right.
it proved to be the right move for us as we left the competition to our left in the dust.
hoping to throw the kite back up quickly seemed not to be in cards for us at the time becuse of thge wind ange, but when the course bent left at the San Mateo bridge it was time to hoist the kite!!! Kite went up , one gybe to the finish at that was that.
sails down , engine on , TacoTime super awesome everyone
