Click here for Cooler results. COOLER 1 The first Cooler Race got off to a excellent start with nineteen boats competing, in light winds on the Southwick canal which made for very tricky tactical racing. The start line was positioned at the far end of the green, giving a tight line and a beat to the first mark, it was critical to get a good start an then pull into clear air, avoiding the wind shadow of the other boats, having done this maintaining a good position with varying light wind, was essential once the windward mark was rounded.
