\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Once again all the weather guru\u2019s got it wrong \u2013 for a week before they predicted a good 15 to 20 knot Northerly breeze for the last day of the Boardwalk<\/a> Hobie 16 Nationals sailed in Algoa Bay, Port Elizabeth from 27 to 30 April 2012.<\/p>\n

With only four races sailed after 3 days of racing the fleet were looking to end on a high note \u2013 3 races were sailed in a North Easterly breeze that presented challenging conditions from 6 to 18 knots on Course 7 (A sausage, triangle, sausage). The first race had to be shortened at the wing mark in a dying wind and most of the fleet were scored DNF with only 13 finishers.<\/p>\n

The fleet paddled home and waited for the breeze line on the horizon to make it\u2019s way to the sailing area off of Shark Rock Pier.<\/p>\n

An hour later the wind line filled in from the North North East again and the fleet started in a rising breeze under the I Flag. The rising breeze resulted in a shorter than normal course. A quick adjustment and the fleet set off for the 3rd race of the day and the final of the series. The dying breeze at the finish put paid to further sailing and the back to back was lowered.<\/p>\n

Port Elizabeth delivered varied conditions \u2013 light, strong, variable and from 3 points on the compass making for fair competition.<\/p>\n
