| The SHADES douse: Angus
makes good and
sure the spinnaker and its sheets don't end up under the
boat. Here, Al
is, to quote Dr. Stuart Walker, "spending his lead" in a good cause: a nice, unrushed douse that makes us less mistake-prone. ... |
 |
| It's a close-run thing for
2nd: (l to r) Dave,
Marc, Frank, Mike,
Andrew, Sue - click here for full-size image ... |
 |
| The long beat: Al (3854)
and
Dave (282) speed test. Sue (7346) may or may not be in
dirty air
(camera angle??) ... |
 |
| Strategy: Frank (l) goes left, and Al
(2nd from right) defends
against
Frank, whom Al (2-2-3-1-1-2) can still beat in the series if Al wins this race and Frank (1-1-1-2-4-1) comes worse than 2nd in this finale. - click here for full-size image ... |
 |
| The run: Appropriately, the
finale has become a battle between Frank and Al (l). - click here for full-size image ... |
 |
| Deceptive angles from the
beach
view again: Al (3854) still leads but is the only one
sailing the rhumb
line to the leeward mark. The others will all have to sail some extra distance to get down to the leeward mark: (l to r) Frank, Al, Marc, Dave, Sue - click here for full-size image |
