Ditto Ian Coxhead with Ally??

By the time Tony and I got near the far side of Eel Bay (see winged W below), the wind was honking royally and the thought of a beat all the way to Clayton began to lose its appeal. Far preferable was a run back home under jib alone - and a nice, refreshing beer!! Even "the Pony Express", our beloved centreboard, is champing at the bit   :)

Looks like Ian Coxhead to me.
