finish, and they, too ... ... |

the
line before doing a brisk douse inside the harbour. ... |
 |
| Doug and Françoise
recovered from an inauspicious first leg to take 3rd -
not hurt at all
by fine downwind form like this!! ... |
 |
| It was a fine 4th for
Geoff
Edwards and his emergency fill-in crew... ... |
 |
| ... Matt Close. ... |
 |
| John and Dolores
crossed
5th as witnessed by ... ... |
 |
| ... Principal Race
Officer,
Fred McNutt. ... |
 |
| (l to r) An impressive gust carries Sue, Fred and
Dave towards
an exciting finish. ... |
 |
| Sue is about to pass
the
tiny finish mark, pursued by Dave and Fred - and at the
far right,
Andrew Haill. ... |
 |
| 6th for Sue and
Stephan -
not bad considering they were using an unfamiliar club
Wayfarer!! ... |
 |
| Banshee screams
in
to the finish ... ... |
 |
| ... as Stephan and Sue
douse smartly. ... |
 |
| Even in the relatively
sheltered waters of Callander Bay, there was some wave
action! ... |
 |
| It's a nice comeback
for
Andrew and Julie who cross ahead of the veteran team of
... ... |
 |
| ... Fred Black and
Michael
Kachkovsky. ... |
 |
| Njord enters
the
harbour in fine form. Note the slight windward heel
which takes away
the downwind tendency towards weather helm. ... |
 |
| A relaxed finish for
Fred (l) and Michael. ... |
 |
| Our safety boat: Paul
Whitehead (l) and Trevor Hughes ... |
 |
| Bow up as recommended
on a
breezy run ... ... |
 |
| ... Bernie (l)
and
Henry cross the line. ... |
 |
| It has not been a
perfect
racing day for ... ... |
 |
| ... Ross Jamieson and
young
Brett. The body language seems to be saying: "Haven't had this much fun since grandma caught her you-know-what in the wringer!!" |
