PORT SHELTER REGATTA 2021, RACES 2 & 3
Port Shelter Regatta 2021, Day 2 2021 牛尾海帆船賽第二日賽況
Clear start for HKPN B Day 2 of the Port Shelter Regatta 2021 comprised two geometric races, both of which proved challenging for the race management team.
牛尾海帆船賽第二日有第 2 & 3 場浮標賽，這兩場比賽對賽
Having opted to remain within Port Shelter, the Race Officer (RO), Barry Truhol, and his team on Hebe One, set about determining the optimal course for Race 2. The breeze was oscillating widely between 040 and 090 degrees, so he settled on a bearing of 85 degrees to the top A1 mark at a distance of 1.1 nautical miles for the IRC fleet and Sportsboats, and an inner A2 mark for HKPN and the J/80s, both with offset marks.

First off on schedule was IRC A, with Quest well placed on the line. IRC C and Sportsboats followed with both Talkinghead and the VX One, Serendipity, caught on course side (OCS).
當日IRC A組與 Quest 保持領先，IRC C 組和運動型帆船艇緊
Then came the drama: it was realised that the windward marks did not correspond to the layout of the proposed course and some marks had drifted out of position! The third start for HKPN A and the J/80s was quickly postponed, and the N flag hoisted, abandoning Race 2 for those that had already started.
賽事進行期間還發生了一段插曲，賽事團隊發現迎風標記
Support boats sped to the top marks to assist in repositioning the marks before returning to adjust the pin-end start line mark.
在回去調整銷端起點標記之前，支援船隻助重新調整頂標。
事管理團隊來說都具有挑戰性。
隊已規劃第 2 場浮標賽的最佳路線。風向在 040 度和 090 度之間來回，所以賽事主任安排 IRC 艦隊和運動型帆船艇 在 1.1 海里處，與頂部 A1 標記成 85 度角；HKPN 級和 J-80級 有一個內部 A2 標記，兩組都有偏移標記。
追在後，更後面的則是Talkinghead和 VX One、Serendipity。
與擬定的路線不吻合，且有些標記已偏離位置。HKPN
A級
和 J/80級的第 3 場比賽因此延遲；同時揚起 N 旗，取消第 2 場浮標賽。
之後賽道重新設於 90 度的方向，IRC A組船隻於13時03分開
With the course finally reset at 90 degrees, countdown procedures recommenced for a 1303 start for IRC A. Pent up frustrations got the better of the 10 starters, and there was a general recall, putting the fleet at the back of the queue for a re-start.
始賽事。不過，其他10隊選手提出異議，認為IRC A組船隻未 能遵守賽規，要求他們排在啟航隊列的後方再開始賽事。 在13時18分，7艘HKPN B級船出發；IRC A組船則在13時23分
At 1318 it was the turn of the seven HKPN B boats before IRC A finally got its turn at 1323.
