Wind pressure trumped wind angle both on the way to the channel island mark & down the stretch to the finish. I made the wrong choice twice. Attendance was low for this “SYC” event & attrition even worse. Trying to assess the actual position of our 2 boats to the line over several hours was problematic as the sever idiosyncrasies seemed to be playing tricks.
