The Wayfarer
Midwinters of 2005 |
|
|
|
And in the end, it will be
...
|
|
|
|
... Geoff and Pat who take
6th just ahead of ... |
|
|
|
... Jim (2136) who still
finishes in the money among the white-sailers (3rd)
... |
|
|
|
... and just ahead of Joe De
Brincat, who ... |
|
|
|
... comes cruising into 8th
place from the left side of the beat. |
|
|
|
A sound 9th, and 4th in
Non-Spinnaker, goes to ... |
|
|
|
... Sam Montondo and C.J.
Rush. |
|
|
|
About to cruise across in
10th are ... |
|
|
|
... Bob Frick and Peter Every
... |
|
|
|
... ahead of Robert Hart and
Tony Krauss and their ... |
|
|
|
... mean, green ... |
|
|
|
... machine. |
|
|
|
A nice puff speeds Bob and
Peter towards their lunch break at the club, |
|
|
|
Almost everybody seems to
love that port layline, as the 12th-place team of
... |
|
|
|
... Ted Benedict and Donna
Clark ... |
|
|
|
... rolls across the line
from that direction as well. |
|
|
|
Next across were Peter Hylen
and Mike Tigue, ahead of ... |
|
|
|
... the Johnsons, Richard and
Michele, whose Chick'n was well and truly
fried in this race. |
|
|
|
Then it was Morris Metcalf
and Andrew Parks who are very nicely trimmed as they
... |
|
|
|
... romp across the finish
line. |
|
|
|
Well!!!!
Wasn't that a short puff??!! |
|
|
|
Commodore Murto and his
versatile, helming crew Patricia, come in on
starboard and ... |
|
|
|
... get a nice, little puff
to help them look good as they scoot across the
line. |
|
|
|
Don't relax too much, too
soon, Patricia. Those gusts get trickier nearer the
shore. |
|
|
|
Mike Murto sets a direct
course for ... |
|
|
|
... the keg. |
|
|
|
Doctor Hepting, I presume! |
|
|
|
Dave cruises across the line.
Now at last, the RC can head in for a well earned
lunch! |
|
|
|
Note above, how Dave is one
of several LESC Wayfarers equipped with rudimentary
masthead buoyancy (I think!!) ... |
|
|
|
... a smart move, especially
for solo sailors who could have a tough time
rescuing themselves from a "turtle". |
