New Country Different Event

After arriving in the colourful city of Koper, Slovenia on Tuesdayevening. We had high hopes after last week competing with the best inthe world in Portugal. We were hoping to carry the intensity throughto this week

We were joined on the boat today by our local bowman Tosh, for thefirst time. Conditions on the first day were lite with seven knots ofbreeze.
The first race we had local Bojan Rajar. The start was non eventfuland we won the favoured left and extended to have a handy lead at thefirst mark carrying on to win our first race.The second race was against world ranked number 13 and local legend Jure Orel. This was much the same as the first race, managing to winthe favoured left hand side and the race.
The third race against world number 10 Ian Ainslie on the other handwas a different story with the breeze dropping to less than 5 knots.We forced him to tack off and he struggled to lay the committee boat.Therefore we had won the start and the left but with the winddropping it was starting to shift right and Ian ended up in a goodposition. When we tacked he crossed us and rounded the top mark justahead. There was a change of coarse at the bottom mark and we cameback to keep it close but couldn’t manage to get ahead.
All in all we were happy with the day but are looking forward to racing tomorrow.
