Toronto Sailing & Canoe Club * Aug. 27-28, 2005 Sunday race pics - 1 by Marc Bennett and Uncle Al |
 |
| Complete with "new"
jib and
smaller waves, Stefan and Tom are all set to have a
more successful day. ... |
 |
| Ready to rescue: Rob
Wierdsma (l) and his son, Ben ... |
 |
| Geoff Edwards and
Dave Codd
check out the line and their upwind trim. ... |
 |
| With Fred away
today,
Michael will helm Rusty Scuppers. Here, he and
Kate Linkova get
in a bit of spinnaker practice. ... |
 |
| Sunday's first race
(race
5), first run: Mike Codd and Jane (who could sit on
the deck to balance
the boat better) ... |
 |
| Bob (r) and
Scott
Kennedy are doing better today, now that they have a
complete
centreboard. ... |
 |
| Looks like Hans and
John
(orange hull) should have the inside track for room at
the leeward mark
coming up. ... |
 |
| It's a close race
among Reg
Bunt (7227), Geoff Edwards (9483), Ted Lacelle and ... ... |
 |
| ... Dave Platt (red
spi). ... |
 |
| Could be some good
action
coming up at the leeward mark. ... |
 |
| Race 5, nearing the
downwind finish: Stefan Larson (600) is trying to hold
onto his narrow
2nd-place edge over ... ... |
 |
| ... Mark Taylor
(7673) . If
they continue to converge, Stefan will have to keep
clear since Mark is
on starboard! ... |
 |
| A bit further back,
a close
four-way battle is shaping up among (l to r) John de Boer, Kit Wallace, Ivan Pedersen and Hans Gottschling. ... |
 |
|
The second-place
battle
continues between Stefan (600) and Mark (7673) while
(l to r)
Michael Kachkovsky, Peter Kozak with Linda, Doug
Netherton, Alastair
Ryder-Turner and Geoff Edwards are ready to pounce
on the slightest
mistake. Will W600 crew, Tom Wharton refill that
spinnaker in time to
prevent disaster???
... |
 |
| It appears so. Mark
and
Paul have decided to gybe, which cost them just enough
speed to leave
Stefan with his ... ... |
 |
|
... second place
by a
small margin. In Mark's shoes, a nastier sailor -
such as myself -
might have been tempted to force the confrontation
with W600 by holding
starboard and luffing up to either force Stefan to
gybe away (at which
point I might have gybed to port to maintain clear
air, or to take
Stefan's wind and then let the chips fall where they
may. A Mark Taylor
gybe where it was actually made, probably made
Stefan smile a huge
smile of relief???
... |
 |
| A well sailed and
exciting
race for both Stefan and Mark! ... |
 |
| Alastair and David
are on
their way to a ... ... |
 |
| ... fine 4th. ... |
 |
| Peter and Linda
crossed 5th
but subsequently lost a protest which moved ... ... |
 |
| ... Doug Netherton
up to
5th. ... |
 |
| A solid sixth for
Mike and
Jane while ... ... |
 |
| ... Michael and Kate
will
take 7th ahead of Bob and Scott. |
