Cat Fight – Mar 22nd 2019

From the left (in TMS Flying Shadows): Isa and Laured, and Joshua.
On the dock: Jaslyn, Rayz, Caethes, and Cryptic.

This weeks Backwater Bay Yacht Club Cat Fight saw some rough sim sailing weather at the start but conditions calmed for the rest of the race. The regions in the Bingo Strait were fickle as they claimed Joshua, on his The Mesh Shop (TMS) Flying Shadow, right after the start line, during race one, for the only DNF (Did Not Finish) on the day. After Josh’s sacrifice, the regions calmed and allowed smooth sailing for the rest of the day. This weeks fleet, sailing on the BBYC 10 and BBYC 12 courses, was comprised entirely of TMS Flying Shadows.

The fleet gets underway at the start of the second race of the Backwater Bay Yacht Club Cat Fight, on Friday, March 22nd, 2019.
