Sailing close hauled from Bembridge Ledge Cardinal towards Ryde Sands.

Highlights from a lively Round the Island Race from onboard 'Hydra' a Beneteau First 33.7. Sit back, strap in and enjoy the sleigh ride!

Just thought I would talk through my thought processes whilst sailing across to Cowes.

Uncle Ray was a pioneering hang glider pilot back in the 70's and provided me with an real insight into the localised effect of thermals on the gradient wind. Brisk NE in this instance. Wind went light, we were at the base of a thermal with birds wheeling above. Thirty seconds later a big gust as air infilled. Fascinating to be sailing with an experienced pilot.
