Last ISORA 12 Sep

Having positioned the boat from Holyhead the day before, the final ISORA was direct start to finish, Pwllheli to Dun Laoghaire.  With only 3 onboard, we made a poor, but safe, start.  Approaching Bardsey, the wind was WSW 5-7 and the Sound was horrible - I have seen the sea and over falls bigger, but I have not seen them so confused.  Nevertheless,  as we emerged from the Sound, we were still in touch with the Js, a position we maintained until they set their Code zeros to cross Bray/ Kish Bank.  We stayed higher to round Codling with the aim of setting the Asymetric, which we did with some success, but we were unable to make good the loss before we hit variable winds off Bray (again) and lost out with our slow sail changes, an inevitable consequence of being short-handed.  The results can be found here: http://isora.org/images/2015/OverallResults/OverallResults.htm
