Also being put through her paces at the June Bug was the smaller version of the Sonatina, the Chickadee.
..
With a long trip home to Montreal looming, Peter and Krista Rahn decide to miss the 6th and final race of the 2003 June Bug and head back towards the haulout ramps. This means that Jens and Sharon can move into a points tie with Peter for the series if they win this last race - a tie that would be broken in favour of the Biskaborns who would have more firsts.
..
Bob and Ravi tune up for the finale.
..
Laser leader, Steve Carroll (W6066) checks out the conditions ...
..
... as do Len and Andy.
..
Len (6732) and Jens (7663) keep well clear as the Cruisers and Miscellaneous Fleet
reaches the final stages of their starting sequence.
..
And they're off, with ...
..
... the single-handed Mr. Pol making a lovely start and ...
..
... taking the early lead.
..
Quite the ...
..
... miscellaneous group ...
..
... they are, too!
..
The Wayfarer-Laser-YFlyer start goes and Bob Kennedy (r) adds to the excitement by trying ...
..
... a port tack start. Can he cross the two starboard W's, Jens (7663) and Len (6732)?
..
No. For a start like this, you have to be really prepared to make a great tack quickly, or ...
..
... you'll get buried.
..
Still, it could be worse. With luck, Bob will be able to stay out of ...
..
... Jens' direct wind shadow.
..
Wisely, Bob (3571) decides to get out while the getting is good.
