"Starboard!!!"

"Hold your course!"

Y-Flyer, Pierre Dignard, passes the start area just as the Open Fleet starts, led by Peter James and John Fredin (2812).
...

Next across are Roy and Bobby, followed by Gord McKinstry in his Hobie.
...

In due course, Drew and Lindsay and their CL with its seriously oversheeted main approach the line.
...

The early (Upper) Canadian Navy comes to the rescue.
...

Peter James in good upwind form, is about to ...
...

... tack on a header.
...

Gord has his Hobie moving upwind nicely.
...

Roy has also tacked on the starboard header, as has ...
...

... Doug in his Hobie which will cross behind Kevin (2581).
...

As Kevin digs back in towards the middle of Fanshawe Lake, Drew goes up the far shore.

Taking their time in the Siren are Shawn Pyne and Andrew Malpass.
