Race 04, 23 November 2013

Race 04 took place in good winds from NNW of arround 15 knots in 25 degree C.  The start was at Emirates Palace Marina, with a long tight reach to FD1, then a reach to Z27g, back to FD1, then to finish at Emirates Palace Marina.  Besides just after the start to round the Marina Mall break water no tacks were required which made for a reaching race.
