The second race in the Island Cruising Series Race on June 27th saw a fleet of 4 boats start in a fresh southwesterly. A downwind start and a rather too exciting run saw Psyche leading at the leeward mark after some debate with Border Maid about whether it is permissible to pole out the Genoa in a white sails race. The unusual, not to say unique, situation of being in the lead brought home to her crew the need to actually know the course.

The situation returned to normal on the beat back when Border Maid sailed comfortabley home to win while Psyche had to slow down to reef.  Border Maid looks set to win the series provided she crosses the starting line in the final race.  The skipper being away on holiday may prove something of a handicap.

The next race in the series is on the 22nd August – open to all, members and non-members. Briefing at 10:00 in the PEYC clubhouse.
