John Cawthorne and David Weatherston ...
...

... follow Mike and Kirk around the right-hand gate mark.
...

Perhaps recalling the fact that the left side seemed to pay up the first beat, Paul has tacked away
from Doug, Nick, John and Kit who have just rounded the left-hand gate mark behind him.
...

Roger doesn't even wait that long!
...

Now only Kit remains on port towards the right side of the beat.
...

Still a bit of rustiness showing as Saw Dust begins her second beat.
...

That's better!
...

It's a lonely life at the top as Heider Funck and Tom Wharton win their second straight race.
...

But it's too little, too late for Heider and Tom, as Al Schönborn and Marc Bennett (pole too far aft!!) ...
...

... finish 2nd and clinch the series. The 1992 Mike Mac spare is beginning to show its age
but the new one is being saved for the Worlds!
...

Mark and Paul Taylor follow in 3rd place while ...
...

... Hans Gottschling and Pedro Santos take 4th - their best finish of this series.
...

Another solid 5th for the de Boers, John and Dolores, while ...
...

... Peter and Annelies have dropped a couple of boats but still matched their series' best placing with a 6th.
...

7th for John and David. Note that the foot of their spi should not touch the forestay:
the sheet and/or the guy (windward sheet) should be eased.
...

Eclairelle, the Conestoga express with Dwight Aplevich and Al Nichols, rolls in 8th ...
...
... ahead of Conestoga clubmates, Paul and Alan Laderoute, and ...
...
... TSCC's Mike Codd with Kirk Iredale.
...
Roger and Joanne's 11th was their worst result of the series.
...

Kit and Ann's 12th becomes an OCS.
...

A freshly bathed and capsized Doug and Roger cross in 13th.
