Mike Murto reaches down to the ...

... offset mark and ...
...

... starts his run in perfect ...
...

... balance.
...

A lovely single-handing day!
...

Look ma, no hands! Mike demonstrates how weight placement can steer the boat.

As the Wayfarers near the end of their final run, the leading Scots ...

... near the finish line, and ...

... head for home.

The Flying Scot series winners.
...

And a lovely sailing weekend it has been!
...

Rolling in just behind a Scot, Marc Bennett keeps intact his undefeated Midwinters
helming record while Uncle Al waves a thank you to a terrific Race Committee.
...

Marc and Al still have no idea that they are sailing with a two-piece mast!!
...

Just as well, too! Why spoil a perfect morning like this?!
...

Peter and Frank roll across the line in ...
...

... 2nd place once again, justifiably ...
...

... proud and happy after their fine showing with borrowed boat and sails - not to mention one of the old "spaghetti" booms.
...

No spaghetti boom here, as Nick and Joe complete a string of six straight thirds.
...

Gale Shoemaker and ...
...

... his hard-hiking crew, Taylor Arnold, completed their series with an excellent 4th
to easily win the Non-Spinnaker Division. Congratulations, Taylor and Gale!
