 |
| The last few seconds before the
start. ... |
 |
| And we're off! ... |
 |
| With Marc and Al (3854) having
decided to helm alternate races, Marc is at the helm and has SHADES
off to a fine full-speed start, as do Andrew and Penny Gumley (4610)
who had to miss Race 1 due to a kiddies' soccer commitment. ... |
 |
| Aboard 3140, it's Lori Beehler's
turn to helm, and she has Green Side Up off to a superb start. ... |
 |
| This race has brought a better
breeze and a few of us
are actually having to sit out. ... |
 |
| Jamie (l) bails out in
search of clear air, and ... ... |
 |
| ... Andrew (4610) has the same
idea. ... |
 |
| Brian is off on port as well. ... |
 |
| Nice clear air out here! ... |
 |
| Not much wind left over by the
time it reaches Tim France (l) through a wall of sails. Dave
(282) tacks while ... ... |
 |
| ... he can still cross Robin. ... |
 |
| Ah! That's better! ... |
 |
| Tim looks better on port, too. ... |
 |
| After a poor start, Bill Fyfe
cuts through on port between Robin and Marc who keeps a wary eye on the
speedy Bill. ... |
 |
| Clear air at last for Bill and
Frank. ... |
 |
| Perfect form for Lori and Jason
as they ... ... |
 |
| ... continue to challenge Marc
and Al who also look very well trimmed. From this angle, Jason's jib
looks a bit overtrimmed? ... |
 |
| Judging by apparent mast length,
Marc (3854) should be comfortably clear of Robin (r) as he and
Al complete a roll tack near the port tack layline. ... |
 |
| Lori (3140) follows suit, as
does ... ... |
 |
| ... Robin (6071) who seems to
have tacked right into Marc's wind shadow but is likely too far away to
be much affected. |
