The Hivernal is a series of five regattas over the winter on Lake Geneva. Yesterday, Thierry, Sanja, Ana and I took part in the first one. Heavy rain and no wind was enough to put most competitors off, but 7 boats turned out. The first advantage was gained when Thierry picked out a 180 degree shift in wind so that we tacked early than the boat ahead and sailed past them. By the time we got to the upwind buoy we were in third. We headed back with the spi and it was all over by 2.30. Mercifully, the organizers decided on just one round given the very light winds.
