In Sunday's lighter winds, Al and Tom have rounded onto a broad reach and are about to hoist, happy in the knowledge that they won't be involved in the mess developing at the windward mark behind them.
...
Dave Daniel (4617) is about to round ahead of Fred Black (7379) and Roderick Anderson (3568).
...

More windward mark mess begins to ...
...

... sort itself out.
...

Just before the start of one of Saturday's three windier, wavier races.
...

Everyone has just crossed the start line on port tack - note that the start line is very long and extremely pin end favoured. The leader, Al, is about to ...
...

... pass to leeward of the cruiser sailing under jib alone.
...

A couple of CLs look good here but it will be ...
...

... Tom and Al carrying a substantial lead onto ...
...

... the second beat.
...

I believe that's Colin Junkin rounding onto beat 2 ahead of Ed Tait
who has done a nice job of cutting inside the other two boats, and in fact ...
...

... is now passing Colin ...
...

... quite smartly.
...

After another start, Al (3854) starts with a big edge from a pin end start with Colin (929) holding a nice 2nd.
...

Rob Wierdsma (1050) outpoints Robert Harper (1511) and prepares to pass.
...

Light airs on Sunday morning: Roderick (3568) kills himself and Pawel Wojcik to windward
by pinching when neither boat is moving.
...

More Saturday action ...
...

... between races
...

Rob (1050) just misses a beating, port-tack Cl.
