... the A Cats.

And the Chesapeake 20's soon ...

... follow.
...

Going into their finale, the 20's have four of their 8 boats virtually tied for the series lead: Peter Bell is counting 3 points, while Randy Watson, Bob Blomquist and Alex Schlegel  are all sitting on four. Whoever wins this race, wins the series. Above, Randy (205) has Alex (202) nicely tucked away in his backwind, and will go on to win the race (and the series) over Alex.

Randy (l) and Alex continue their head-to-head battle.

Ah! A lift for Alex (r) that Randy didn't get. This will get him out of Randy's backwind.

Wayfarers' finale about to start. Mike and Dave check ...

... their upwind settings.

As do Lori (3140) and Andy (555).

A little puff for Lori and Jason.

Andy and Joan in nice upwind trim, as they ...

It's a long way home for the Chesapeake 20's - 50 miles, apparently.
So the "mother ship" wastes no times getting the tow started.
