| A nice, smooth
rounding coming up for John and Dolores ... ... |
|
| ... ahead of Doug
(1366) and Robin
(6071). ... |
|
| Brian Mills (4675) and
Dave Hansman approach the leeward mark to end their first run. ... |
 |
| The second run: Peter
Rahn has pulled away into a nice lead, but ... ... |
 |
| ... the race for 2nd
remains wide open. ... |
 |
| (l to r) Bill,
Roger, Al, Mark and Andrew ... |
 |
| No room for error
here, and ... ... |
 |
| ... John is coming up
the inside as well. (l to r) John, Brian, George, Doug, Dave ... |
 |
| Al (3854) briefly
moves into 3rd ahead of Bill (yellow hull), Andrew (4610) and Roger
while ... ... |
 |
| ... Mark gets a bit
more comfortable in 2nd. ... |
 |
| Passing the
start-finish area: Going more to the right has not paid for Al (red
spi) and Bill (r), as both John and Andrew (4610) have found
better pressure nearer the rhumbline. Al and Marc are just gybing over
to get some of that extra breeze, and also to get inside positioning as
the leeward mark is coming up shortly. This move will ultimately lead
to Al rescuing a 3rd from this race. Bill Fyfe will also come in from
the far side and grab 4th place by the finish line. ... |

| Mark Taylor (l)
caught in the act of pulling away, on his way to a 2nd behind Peter
Rahn. John de Boer is on his way to 5th but inexplicably, Andrew and
Mike (4610) ... ... |
 |
| ... who are looking so
good here, will fall to 8th! ... |
 |
| George chases Brian
who could make flying easier for his spi by sailing the boat flat like most of the leaders have been doing, and ... ... |
 |
| ... as Doug (1366) and
Dave (282) are doing above. ... |
 |
| Perfect downwind,
light-air form for George and Mike, but ... ... |
 |
| ... will Doug and John
(1366) get past by sailing deeper (closer to the rhumbline)? Nope, George will hang on to edge out Doug. |
