deceiving, Marc has moved past Al into 2nd while Lori lies
a close 4th. ... |

| Meanwhile, it's lonely at
the
top for Frank and Kim. Well, they do have each other, of
course. With
luck, they'll get distracted?? ... |

Sails out, Robin!!!!
Since
oversheeting kills power (like stalling out a plane!),
it's always
better to ease the sails on the early side, i.e. keep
them ahead of the
turn. Conversely, at the next (leeward) mark, it is no
good to sheet in
early while still running, just so that your sails will
look good when
you finally reach your closehauled course - better to
let them luff (a
bit) and catch up a.s.a.p.
