Race 4 First beat...

Whole fleet now on starboard at the halfway point.
Samba and New Wave looking good on the middle left.
Ninkasi and Calvi also seem to have clean lanes in the middle.
Star looking a little boxed in but hanging on starboard as wind now in right phase.
Race 4 Start...
19 January 2010 17:27:56
Race 4 away cleanly.
Big bunching down at the pin end meant a slow exit for the bunch down there.
Midline Samba got away cleanly.
At the RC boat end Red and Calvi were fighting it out for the boat end start. Neither ended up getting away well and both have had to tack out on to port almost immediately.
