North Bay Wayfarer Weekend Friday - 2 photos by Carol Hansman, Andrew Haill, Doug Netherton & Uncle Al |
 |
| The racing fleet is
expected to show up in Callander Bay any minute now,
heading towards a
finish right off the club here. ... |
 |
| Bob Flannagan ... ... |
 |
| ... at the finish in
his
well-reefed CS27 ... ... |
 |
| Windwalker -
and
what a wind to be walking in!!! ... |
 |
| You can almost feel
the
cold breeze in this picture - a great time to be
upstairs in the club
dining room/bar. ... |
 |
| Alistair Greig and his
J24 J-cool flying the white spinnaker.
Crew included
Chris Greig and Ross Jamieson. ... |
 |
| John Simmonds in his
Kirby
25 Mosquito looks great as he nears the finish. ... |
 |
| But wait! There will
be ... ... |
 |
| ... entertainment to
be
had. A shifting gust collapses the spinnaker - "Sheet
in!!!!" ... |
 |
| Or perhaps ... ... |
 |
| ... not!!! Once the
guy
(windward sheet) comes loose, things can get very nasty,
as even a
healthy keel has some trouble beating the mechanical
advantage of a
spinny flying mostly at the top of the mast!! ... |
 |
| So, boys! How shall we
get
this down?? ... |
 |
