And it's a rain-soaked tack to starboard for Dave and Kim.
...

A starboard duel on the left side between Frank (648) and Sue (to whom Frank has lent these newer sails for 4677).
...

Dave and Carol pass the RC boat reviewing stand.

Carol suffers bravely. What a thing to do to a grandma!!

By leaving the RC boat to port, Ross and John keep ...

Puddle Duck!!! Today's most appropriate boat name!! Above you can also see why most of us have long since removed
the original cleats from our mast: they catch the jib sheets during tacks at the most inopportune moments!!
...

As Alastair and Andrew cross, Uncle Al checks his position on the course: If he does not tack now,
he'll have to wait a fair while before he's back in clear air after sailing through Alastair's dirt.
...

Al Nichols and Ken Nethercott hit a knock. To tack or not to tack? The boat in front seems to still be lifted?
But a tack right now gets them out of dirty air onto a lift, however brief it may be.
...

Rob and Samantha pass the RC boat.

... Robin and Andy.
