No start
photos as "my"
photographer was
busy sighting the line, etc. To the best of my
recollection, Anders and
I checked out both sides of the course at some length
and decided that
middle right seemed to have the best possibilities for
wind. After
starting
well at the RC boat end, we followed our game plan but
once again the
boats
that went extreme left - Poul Ammentorp, Joel Bøgh,
Steen
Schubert
f. eks. - did very well. We avoided a pretty large
mess at the windward
mark by overstanding slightly and made it back up into
about 12th
place.
The extreme back in the wind direction that had
blessed the extreme
left
boats had also made the short spi reach to the "gybe"
mark very close
and
we picked off another 2 or 3 boats by holding off on
the spi and
sailing
high. Being outside at the gybe mark was no real
disadvantage to us
since
we had already decided that the recent wind shift
would have changed
the
first part of this leg at least, into a broad
starboard tack reach and
that we would not gybe. This strategy worked well as
we passed a boat
or
two that "blindly" gybed at the mark.

Two more
from that group: Steen
Schubert
(10249) has nicely waited until he reached the
"two-length circle"
before
dousing his spi so that Per Larsen (9733) will not
be entitled to room
at the mark even if he gets an overlap now that he
is taking Steen's
wind.
Per will have to be careful to keep clear of Steen
who will be moving
very
slowly around the mark.

Anders' fine spi work moved us to within "striking position" of the whole group fighting over 5th as we started beat #2. .. |

No
pictures of the leader
Anders Friis
here who was too far ahead again. On the left (til
venstre?) we see
Poul
and Irene Ammentorp in Woodie (239) who had,
I believe, held
the
lead until right near the leeward mark. Til højre we
have
3rd-place Stephan Nandrup-Bus just off Søren og Lise
Jonasen's
bow
(4123). Both of these boats lost a fair bit by going
right. Having
decided
to try the left (west) side which seemed to give
more wind down the
run,
Uncle Al (9355) chooses to tack rather than try to
"foot" past Steen
Schubert
to leeward.
