The
Wayfarer Midwinters of 2005 |
|
|
|
Morris Metcalf and
Andrew Parks practice their wing-on-wing technique,
which will be ... |
|
|
|
... front and centre in
the Non-Spinnaker division racing. |
|
|
|
Geoff Edwards has his
local crew, Pat Reardon, dressed up as a Canadian. |
|
|
|
Peter Rahn and Frank
Goulay (r) check out ... |
|
|
|
... borrowed boat #2,
as the Maltese Falcon follows in the
distance. |
|
|
|
Dave Hepting: solo
tacks are a tricky thing that needs lots of hands! |
|
|
|
The Maltese Falcon
arrives, piloted by the father/son team of Joe and
Brian DeBrincat. |
|
|
|
I must agree with Brian
that this is not ... |
|
|
|
... the
greatest-looking mainsail ever. |
|
|
|
This
looks a bit better -
but, says Marc, not much! |
|
|
|
W10195 arrives ... |
|
|
|
... with ... |
|
|
|
... Robert Hart and new
crew, Tony Krauss, ready to do ... |
|
|
|
... a little pre-race
tuning against Ted Benedict and Donna Clark in
W2415. |
|
|
|
Patricia De Rubertis
has the helm as she and Mike Murto disappear behind
SHADES' jib. |
|
|
|
Sam
Montondo (l)
and C.J. Rush in W9913 pursue Jim Lingeman, our
other race 1 solo
sailor. Would this be a case of "overtaking boat
keep clear" if these
boats should converge while racing? No - under the
Racing Rules of
Sailing, the port-tacker, Jim, would have to keep
clear of Sam who is
on starboard. ... |
|
|
|
Once
they start racing,
Morris (r) and Andrew will want to sit
further forward to keep
from dragging Murphy's Law's stern. Morris
will want to sit
with his forward leg against the aft edge of the
thwart while Andrew,
the crew, will want to move closer to the shroud
if not right up
against it. ... |
|
|
|
Jim (port) crosses in
front of Peter (starboard) as one or both are
sailing by the lee until
... |
|
|
|
... Peter and Frank
gybe. |
|
|
|
Ted Benedict (W2415)
and Uncle Al (W3854) reach along the line as race
time nears. |
|
|
|
Ditto for Morris and
Andrew |
|
|
|
The line is set and the
countdown about to start. |
