at the leeward mark |
Race 6,
Sunday: an interesting rounding of the final leeward
mark in the making Gale Shoemaker (93) and Joe
DeBrincat (1115) seem to have the inside track but what about Bill Fyfe (yellow spi) who will get better apparent wind by pointing higher... - larger image |
|
aha! it was Bill Fyfe
around first, then Gale and then Bob Brown (1385) who
must have been off to leeward with Bill. Entitled to
buoy room is Joe DeBrincat. And right behind him are
Erik and Vicky sitting nicely forward in W1378 to keep
the stern from dragging as are Geoff Edwards and
George Waller in 9483. - larger image

a couple of seconds later: note
how Bill and Frank (937) have their sails drawing and
are moving out while Gale (93) has stopped with no wind
in his main. This means both Joe and Bob should keep
their speed up and go around Gale to leeward - as should
Erik and Geoff! - larger image |
|
a brief
Saturday afternoon breeze brought a major veer that has
turned this run into a reach - larger image |
|
and now it's
around the leeward mark and on to the finish at a mark moved to give us a beat. - larger image |
