more pix from leg 2 form pangkor to penang. we had a pretty good race started in 25 knots witha good swell full mainsail and number 3 jib we stuck to the right of the rumb line to stay inshore hunting for a wind change that should ut us in front we watnted a land breeze.


a miassive rain cloud came over and killed the wind we then headed towards land using the paraent wind fromt eh tops of the waves to propel us toward the beach at .5 of a knot we got there first and managed to skip along in a light 5 knot land breeze putting us infront of our competitor except for one. we got our gennaker up and were doing 8 knots skipping along the mud flats with 3-4meters of water pretty scary sailing at times in unknown waters.
we ended up 2nd on irc in our class so really happy with the result
