Ontarios July 19-20, 2008 * Lac Deschênes Sailing Club race #2 pics - 1 photos by Stuart Pursey, Marc Lamadeleine and Julia Schonborn ... |
 |
| After this very brief
postponement (see flag on RC boat), race 2 was begun in
short order in
increasing breezes. ... |
 |
| The shapes are up so that
we
have less than four minutes and more than one minute to go
to the "gun". ... |

 |
| Frank (red hull) and Al
jockey
for position near the windward end. ... ... |
 |
| Perhaps half-way up the
first
beat: (l to r) Sue
(with
Paul to windward of her), Frank (right on the rhumb line with the first mark to windward of him), Al, Robin, Dave - click here for full-size image ... |
 |
| Frank (l) has the early
lead despie the
port lift Al just got. Mike (398) already has serious
ground to make up. - click here for full-size image ...... |
 |
 |
| Al and Angus cross Dave and
Carol who have decided to tack towards the rhumb line, all this against the splendid backdrop of the Gatineau hills on the Québec side of the lake. ... |

| Robin rolls in well up on
Andy
(555), but ... ... |

and Al. - click here for full-size image ... |
 |
| A sight to gladden the
heart of
any Class Coach: even the lower-placed boats are nicely
trimmed
and sailed!! ... |
 |
| Although here, both these
boats
would
point a lot better if their mains were all the way in - and Paul (3933) should always have his forward knee against the aft edge of the thwart!! ... |
 |
 |
| The start of the first
reach:
Frank and Al have rounded 1-2 while Marc (864) is poised
to round the
windward mark (hidden by 555) 3rd. Lori (3140) has just tacked to leeward and ahead of Dave, while Paul (3933) is just tacking for the mark. - click here for full-size image ... |
 |
| Our fleet is well spread
across
this first reach as seen from Marc's vantage point near
the windward
mark. - click here for full-size image ... |
 |
| Here's how Julia and the
CWA
camera on shore saw us - in a wind that has again turned
patchy. ... |
