The Wayfarer Midwinters of 2005
Saturday: race 2 pics - 3
photos mostly by Richard Kinnie with a few by Uncle Al

Mike (2959) passes the start/finish area as he meets the first of the Scots coming down their final run.
...  

Nick is the token spinnakering Wayfarer pic we get from the Wayfarers' second run.
...

As the leading Scots near the finish line, Jim Lingeman cruises down towards the gate wing on wing.
...

Bob (3636) and Ted do not pass through the start/finish line
which is "closed" to all boats not actually in their starting sequence or finishing.
...

Mo and Andrew will ...
...

... pass on this side of the line.
...

After the final one third of a beat from the gate to the finish, Al and Marc (3854) again
comfortably take line honours in Wayfarers, and beat a few of the Scots in the process!
...

A bit more vang wouldn't hurt ...
...

... Dave Hepting here.
...

Another 2nd for ...
...

... Peter and Frank, while ...
...

... Nick and Joe score another 3rd.
...

A distinct improvement for Richard and Michele who take 4th after their
14th this morning. If chickens had lips, this one would no doubt be grinning.
...

A 5th for Gale and Taylor, and ...
...

... they are not displeased - being the top white-sail boat once again.
...

Eddie and John are about to ...
...

... finish 6th, just ahead of ...
...

... Geoff and Pat once again.
...

Looking good as they get their beep. New mainsail wouldn't hurt.
...

Robert and Tony get set to relax as they cross in 8th place. Jim Lingeman is coming at the line on part tack, but ...
...

... Mike and Patricia (2959) will ...
...

... grab 9th place ...
...

... ahead of Jim and Mike.
...

Here they are, finishing perfectly at the favoured end.
