| Andrew (4610) makes a nice
gradual rounding onto ... ... |
 |
| ... the second beat, to be
followed by ... ... |
 |
| ... Dave. ... |
 |
| Another view of Andrew's
outstanding rounding. ... |
 |
| Dave (282) will round just ahead
of ... ... |
 |
| ... Brian. ... |
 |
| A nice pictorial record of ... ... |
 |
| ... two good ... ... |
 |
| ... roundings. ... |
 |
| Lori and Jason (3140) have used
their spinnaker to move past Tim and Alan (7346) ... ... |
 |
| ... whose lack of spinnaker has
cost them on this leg where they dropped to 7th place. ... |
 |
| One rounding ... ... |
 |
| ... coming up! ... |
 |
| Good roundings for ... ... |
 |
| ... Lori (3140) and ... ... |
 |
| ... Tim (7346) ... ... |
 |
| ... as well. But note that by
not luffing up briefly around the mark, Lori has ... ... |
 |
| ... let Tim stick his nose in to
windward where he ... ... |
 |
| ... now has her trapped on port
tack. ... |
 |
| Looks like we all like port tack
so far. ... |
 |
| A nice rounding for Jamie who ... ... |
 |
| ... has clear air, and who seems
to have cut into ... ... |
 |
| ... Lori's lead of 100 metres ... ... |
 |
| ... which she was enjoying just
moments ago when ... ... |
 |
|
... she started this beat. Of
course, unless Jamie has an urgent reason to stay on port, he would
have been better off to tack and lee bow Lori, something he could
easily have done, given the fact that he is having to bear away to keep
clear of Lori. By tacking, Jamie would have retained clear air, whereas
now, he has just sailed into Tim's backwind!
