| Kipp and Anne
gybe onto their second reach, which will be a fairly
close one, what
with the wind having veered fairly dramatically. Note
that John and
Laura Kupers (2136) have come in from going left on this
leg and still
lie a comfortable 3rd. for full size pic, click here - use Back button to return to this page ... |

of Becky (2756) and Dave (282). ... |

ahead of some very good sailors: Jim Hill (1236), Mike
Codd (red shirt)
and Becky (2756). ... |
 |
| With his
sail in this early, Jim (1236) is stalling out which is
much worse for
speed than a luffing sail - perhaps the switch method that Marc and I use would be useful? ... |
 |
| If Jim were
luffing his main here to slow down until he sees if he
gets to cut
inside Becky (2756), he would get a nice push forward by a rapid sheeting in of his main at the right moment. ... |
 |
| Charles and
Bill (1186) have their sails perfectly trimmed (but
watch for the
tangled mainsheet!) Behind Charles are: ... |
 |
| (l to r) John
Hershey, Steve Macklin, Eric
Kirby and Jake Dann who all look overtrimmed to various
degrees. Remember: when in doubt let it out! |
