Down the run, it's a close race in Wayfarers with Marc Bennett on his way to the third of his four Saturday wins. Here, lucky Marc gets to fly our spinnaker so that Uncle Al can get a shot of John and Dolores (7351) just behind us and Tony and Mary a couple of lengths behind them (under the 7351 boom).

Jim and Mark Heffernan make the best of their ancient sails.
