Gale and Taylor not only sit
a comfortable 3rd overall as they start the run, but
also ... |
|
|
|
... have Jim Lingeman (r),
their main threat to Non-Spinnaker Fleet honours,
nicely tucked away. |
|
|
|
Not much wind here, and Gale
wisely decides to sail high - on port - searching
for a puff in which to run down. |
|
|
|
4th-place Nick does likewise. |
|
|
|
It's a scramble over 5th: Jim
squeezes past the mark just ahead of Robert (10195)
and ... |
|
|
|
... Joe (1115). |
|
|
|
The lads get a nice puff for
their little ... |
|
|
|
... jog to the offset mark.
In the background, Richard (10139) approaches the
windward mark 8th ahead of Geoff. |
|
|
|
Joe sneaks inside Robert at
the gybe, and wisely ... |
|
|
|
... does not risk trying to
pass the spinnaker-less Jim to windward. |
|
|
|
Michele prepares for
spinnaker work aboard the Chick'n with Geoff
(9483) and ... |
|
|
|
... Eddy (6751) and Mo
(10245) ... |
|
|
|
... close behind. |
|
|
|
A quick nip over to the
offset mark, and ... |
|
|
|
... they're off down the run.
Mo (yellow hull) has cleverly sneaked inside Eddy
around the gybe mark! |
|
|
|
Peter and Ted ... |
|
|
|
... keep a good look-out. |
|
|
|
Some serious mark shooting
here for ... |
|
|
|
... Mike Murto. |
