Task Day 2.
Designated Start – Bakara – Peebinga – Overland Corner – Waikerie Finish – Task length: 166.7km/437.0km (295.3km)
The other three classes were cancelled on the grid as the temperature had not broken through early enough for us to launch. We are obligated to give all the classes a fair period of lift for the estimated time to complete the task. In the end the day did go a little longer than expected however the sea breeze effect did come through on track later in the day. A difficult day for the operations committee.
