49er FX Europeans Day 4

Finally some wind! We were prepared and tuned up to go fast. We misjudged our time and distance to the line every start. In the first race we were late to cross the line at the start. We sailed fast, but capsized in the first gybe on the first run. In race 2 we were again late at the start and played catch up. In the start of race 3 we overcompensated and went over the line early. We circled back to re-start, but again followed the fleet trying to catch boats. Race 4 started in the biggest lull of the day and being set up for 18 kts, we accelerated slowly and were again late to start.

Positives for the day: We felt very fast at times upwind, and made gains downwind. We only capsized once when many boats were capsizing. Even when we had poor starts, we were racing and not panicking or being too cautious.
