Back on the water for WAKA Racing

Hi all,

Waka Racing team is back in action after a couple of weeks off. We are now in Poland competing in the Polish Match Tour, Poznan. Today was the round Robin. With 12 teams and only 4 boats they split the fleet in half to cut down on flights. We had a great day in the Skippi 6.50s winning all 5 of our round matches. We had fantastic pre starts in our first 4 races and managed to maintain a confortable lead in the very shifty lake conditions. Our last match of the day wasn't as easy, we came off the line 3 legnths behind. After a big tacking duel we came right back into him before a big wind shift at the top of the beat went his way, undoing all our hard work. Fighting hard we pulled him in again at the the top mark and had a much better hoist, setting us up to attack. We gybed ontop of him, rolled him and held a boat legnth advantage to the finish.

A great day and a positive start to the regatta. We now have quarter finals tomorrow and then they will finish the rest of the event.
