The Wayfarer

The wind picks up a bit to
speed the Wayfarers down the first run - a lovely
morning for a great sail! |
|

Dave Hepting moves smartly
down the short offset leg while Mo (10245)
demonstrates the correct angle of heel for a run. |

|
Sandy Sundberg (l)
and a helper keep an eye on the fleet as we go up
the second beat. |
|
|
|
In fact, Marc and Al (3854)
have gone too fast for their own good up a patchy
second beat and ... |
|
|
|
... reach the second windward
mark along with a group of Scots. |
|
|
|
Hmmmm! |
|
|
|
A good time to remember that
collisions are slow!! |
|
|
|
If windless and all else
fails, push the boom out such that you're on
starboard tack. |
|
|
|
With luck, Marc will have to
give room to ... |
|
|
|
... only one Scot. Marc's
main priority here will be to get clear air. |
|
|
|
The Scot to windward of Peter
(nearest to the camera) is tacking for the windward
mark, so ... |
|
|
|
... Peter and Frank (r)
can do likewise. Soon, they'll reach the starboard
layline and be able to demonstrate ... |
|
|
|
... the anatomy ... |
|
|
|
... of ... |
|
|
|
... a ... |
|
|
|
... roll ... |
|
|
|
... tack! |
|
|
|
And here they are, rounding
the windward mark in fine form, just ... |
|
|
|
... in front of Gale (4106)
and ... |
|
|
|
... an onrushing Scot. |
