The Wayfarer
Midwinters of 2005 |
|
|
|
Dave Hepting ... |
|
|
|
... shoots the windward mark
nicely. |
|
|
|
Then it's Ted - sailing with
Peter Hylen today - just laying the mark
perfectly. |
|
|
|
Mo carries a nice puff around
the mark. |
|
|
|
Nick (864) makes that lovely
Mike Mac chute work harder than it should have to by
letting the boat heel to leeward. |
|
|
|
The Scots reach the gate for
the first time. They, too, are enjoying a good,
close race. |
|
|
|
A
dead run on port for Uncle Al means that anyone they
meet will have right of way, and he is keeping a
good lookout for the Scots who are just starting
their second beat. SHADES, meanwhile, is
superbly balanced with a slight windward heel
helping the spinnaker to stay filled. ... |
|
|
|
Eddy Kraft (6751) continues
to challenge second-place Peter Rahn near the end of
the run. |
|
|
|
A gybe-and-douse for Marc and
Al who have decided to round ... |
|
|
|
... the right-hand end of the
gate. |
|
|
|
Starboard tack being knocked,
SHADES takes off into a nice puff on port
with a comfortable lead over ... |
|
|
|
... Peter and ... |
|
|
|
... Frank, who ... |
|
|
|
... will follow Al around ... |
|
|
|
... the right-hand mark. |
|
|
|
(l to r) Jim,
Richard and Joe in hot pursuit. |
|
|
|
As is Nick. |
|
|
|
Gale (4106) continues to hold
3rd over Eddy, as 4106 prepares to try ... |
|
|
|
... the left-hand mark. |
|
|
|
A lovely rounding although
the sail trimming has been a bit over-enthusiastic:
both sails are already |
