The Mississauga SC Wayfarer/CL Regatta
Race 4.2
by Gord Leachman & Alan Hallwood


... most of the others will have to run down towards it, lull or no lull!
...

As Mark (l) runs down towards the mark, Gary is forced to defend his wind by Colin (r).
...

The beat to the finish of this once-around course saw Al and Colin in good shape: They tacked a couple of times to position themselves between Mark and the finish line, and sailed a light but steady breeze to a convincing win.
...
A tough race for Rob who is still working on his run.
...

No problems for Mark and Paul who above are cruising towards 2nd place as ...
...

... Stuart goes by to windward on the latter part of his run.
...

A fine race for Gary and John who will place 3rd overall and move into the series lead among the CL's.
...
A nice comeback for Kit who will take 4th place.
...

Colin and Heather made this their best race, taking a ...
...

... solid 5th ahead of ...
...
... Geoff and George.
...

Stuart and Ben happily head towards an 8th-place finish, having finally escaped last place. Looking good!!
...

Rod and Rod complete the day's finishers and ...
...

... we can all relax and head back to shore. Aboard SHADES, Colin has done a super job
and is even willing to steer the boat back into harbour so that Al can lounge.
...

Lounging technique also appears to be one of Paul's strengths.
...

Well, it's been a stressful day, what with the light and fitful winds. So we've earned the rest!!
