Andy and Robin at the bottom mark. W2945 has succumbed to the temptation of bringing the sails in early. This stall the sails and is about the worst trimming mistake one can make. Better to get the crew to briefly help with the mainsheet while the helm concentrates only on his steering at the mark.

Closely followed by Dave Hepting with Kevin Denley.    - click here for larger image

Izak Kielmovitch and Bill Hemphill reach the leeward mark just ahead of Mike Murto with Tom Hankard.
........

(l to r) Tom Erickson, Ted Benedict, Richard Watterson, Chip Cunningham
Some more mains in too far too soon!!
........


Not here though! These mains all look good!   - click here for larger image
........

Izak and Bill Hemphill are off to a nice start to their second beat.
........

Mike and Tom follow.
........

A slow rounding for Ted who has also pulled his main in way too early and completely killed wind flow over his main.
........

The trick is to get your crew to take the main and sheet it in as you round!!
