On Sunday 2nd August 2026, I raced at Largo Bay SC on my full rig Laser. The sailing conditions were tolerable i.e. medium wind falling to light, wind shifting from South-East to South-West, rising tide, about average temperature and overcast sky. My first start was not great i.e. arriving on time with some speed but no real free air. I stayed with the pack from most of the first lap. My mark rounding was not too bad and I managed to catch one board. The second start was worse as I did not know the race course. The first lap was in contact with the leaders but I passed two boats on the water. On the third race, the wind dropped further and I got a bit tired. That said, I was happy with my mark rounding. The speed except upwind was acceptable.
