| The leaders cruise past
Burfort
Point as they come down the second reach. ... |
 |
| Dave and Carol have been
hanging
on without their chute when both boats were doing hull
speed, but that will suddenly change as Mark and Paul begin to plane beautifully. ... |
 |
| Just like that, the Taylors
have
moved from 5th to 3rd. ... |
 |
| And now they're working on
2nd!! - for full-size pic, click here ... |
 |
| Ross and John demonstrate
the
spinnaker/whisker pole. ... |
|
 |
| The second beat: it's still
very
close among Mark (l), Alastair
and
the earlier leader ... ... |
 |
| ... Sue (937). ... |
 |
| Also still right in the mix
are
Andrew and Lori who have come right back to the rhumb line
here. ... |
 |
 |
 |
| Mark and Paul are not far
from
the RC boat (rhumb line) half-way up the beat, either. ... |
 |
| Same with Alastair and
Andrew,
as well as ... ... |
 |
| ... Sue and Steph. ... |
 |
| Dave and Kim ... |
 |
| Dave and Carol ... |
 |
 |
| Fine form all around for
the
Taylors ... |
 |
| Alastair also uses the new
Heider jib and has it sheeted right in. ... |
 |
| Perhaps this jib, a Hansa
as
well, could come in more?? ... |
 |
|
 |
| The run: In the end it was
Alastair and Andrew (10137) rounding first off the second
beat, and they are now pulling away from 2nd-place Andrew and Lori (3140). Mark and Sue are spinnakering along lying 3-4. - for full-size pic, click here ... |
