 |
| Team Gumley in Wind Shadow (4610) has also gone
by the book and covered. ... |
 |
| Andrew and Phil will score a
fine fourth, and leave it to ... ... |
 |
| ... Brian (6082) and Jamie to
fight the good fight over 5th. ... |
 |
| Jamie tacks but Brian has been
watching and does not ... ... |
 |
| ... let Jamie get away just yet. ... |
 |
| The tacking duel ... ... |
 |
| ... continues. But wait! Jamie
makes a fake tack and Brian (6082) bites. ... |
 |
| Now, if Brian finds himself
sailing at less than 45° to the line, ne needs to tack as soon as
he can. Here, the line is pretty square to the wind, so he should be
OK. Another tack by Brian here will likely risk more by way of a
botched tack than it will gain. ... |
 |
| Even a last-second port-tack
lift is ... ... |
 |
| ... just a bit too late to help
Jamie. ... |
 |
| As he nears the line, Jamie
(4594) give it his all by luffing head to wind, but ... ... |
 |
| ... falls inches short. Well
sailed, both teams!!! ... |
 |
| Jason and Lori come rolling ... ... |
 |
| ... into 7th place, finishing ... ... |
 |
| ... on the favoured tack. Well
done!! ... |
 |
| Also coming to the line on the
favoured tack are Robin (r)
and Alan. ... |
 |
| Time to haul out after a lovely
weekend courtesy of the Lac Deschênes Sailing Club!! Merci beaucoup, tout le monde! |
