| A
classic:
Dwight and Pat (l) have held port to near the
the point on the
north side of the mouth of Wye Creek where ... ... |
 |
| ...
they
found and tacked into the starboard lift. Note how much
better their
lift is than 2nd-place John's after the latter tacked a
bit too early. ... |
 |
| A
closer-up
view would reveal a very pained look on Marc Bennett's
face (r)
who is not happy with Al's decision to try his luck on
the left under
the Race Hut cliff this early. Hmmm! I guess Marc was
right. Look at ... ... |
 |
| ...
John
(7351) and Dwight (4606) who are killing us by sailing
about 40°
higher on the same tack as we are. ... |
 |
| Dwight
(r) continues to sail a nice starboard slant
towards the windward
mark ahead of John (l) and Mike Codd. ... |
 |
| Once
committed to the left side, Uncle Al (l) had to
pray for a big
port tack lift - a long shot at best. click here for full-size pic; then click Back button to return to this page ... |
 |
| The
starboard tackers look lovely as they approach the
windward mark. ... |
 |
| Uncle
Al
(3854) comes out from under the cliff looking a little
better but will
have a ... ... |
 |
| ... a
long
row to hoe to catch the leaders (l to r) Dwight,
John and
Mike. click here for full-size pic; then click Back button to return to this page ... |

No stopping
Dwight and
Pat Aplevich in this one as they round ahead of John
and Dolores whom
they "push" onto the less favoured starboard tack at
the start of this
short beat back to the finish. Al, meanwhile, has
managed to slip past
Mike into (a distant) 3rd place.
... |
 |
| Completing
an
excellent race, Dwight and Pat get set to cross the
finish line with
an expanded lead over 2nd-place ... ... |
 |
| ...
John and
Dolores de Boer whose lifted port puff is too little,
too late. ... |
 |
| Al and
Marc
are already discussing how to avoid Al's upwind errors
made in this
race as they cross 3rd. One of the many joys of sailing
with Marc is
that he never wastes time and effort on placing blame. ... |

| Alastair
finished
5th, behind Mike Codd and ahead of ... ... |
 |
| ...
Jens
Biskaborn. ... |
 |
| Al
Nichols (r)
and Len Macdougall were next across the line, with our
... ... |
 |
| ...
rookies,
Leo and Daryl, making a nice showing in 9th. ... |
 |
| In a
most
exciting finish, Bob (3571) will just barely nose out
Jeff (7220). |
