Sue and Stephan do a nice,
slow spinnaker gybe after passing the RC boat area.

When the wind is not strong
enough to lift the weight of the sailcloth, we can make life easier for

... the spinnaker by lowering the pole until the clews are
more or less level.

Windward heel, anyone???

Again: here Fred and David
could help the spinnaker out by heeling to windward and ...

|
... holding the boom out to leeward.

Even without a spinnaker,
Paul and Marilyn remain right in the mix.

Now Banshee looks
better - their spi problem was nothing that a bit a wind couldn't fix!

Carolyn and Alan should

"Oh, Lord! Why hast
thou
forsaken me?" Doug seems to be saying while Françoise keeps Toodle-oo
going in this bow-to-bow race with Fred (7379). Behind Fred,

to complete an improbable come-back and win the Ontarios yet again.

have Majam trimmed nicely!!

5th place went to Sue and
Stephan who just edged out Fred and David (7379).
