The
2nd reach
of the first triangle: I believe these boats were all in the top 10
- note the
wind
which has nearly died!
..
|
|
One
of the
leaders, Derwyn Hughes (4615) has found a little breeze!
..
|
|
Jon
Townsend
(6288) has recovered nicely from a poor start and is in the top 5 along
with Robin Barker (4286).
..
|
|
A
fine race
for Joe and Janis Schnur who are showing form to match.
..
|
|
How
fortunes
can change in those light airs: Here Geoff Hodshon (198) and Jimmy
Clouston
(7676) are neck-and-neck but by the finish, it was Geoff with a 7th
while
Jimmy ended up 18th!!

Nick
White
(82), Alf Easy (4688), Bill Fyfe (6739) and Colin Wilson (1) fighting
over
8th place.
Bill, for
some
reason, ended up DNF!
..
|
|
By
now the
wind has shifted and Don Gallagher (4406), John Hammond (7887)
and Bill de
Boer
(7351) are all on starboard tack.
..
|
|
These
boats
are currently in the mid-20's: Mike Codd (421), Martin Collen
(88),
Graham Dodd
(3651)
and Dominick Principe (3951). Martin will recover to 14th!
..
|
|
A
little further
back still, we find Graeme Hinton (7900), Fred Webster (3133),
John de Boer
(6090)
and Uncle Al (3854) who will, in fact, recover to a 16th.
..

|
The
start
of the run. Trevor and Giles have 998 so far out in front they have
left
the picture,
but Julian
and
Kevan likely don't care too much...
..
|
|
...
as long
as they can stay ahead of their main series rivals: Jon Townsend (6288)
and Ian Porter (7588)!
..
|
|
523:
Derwyn
Hughes and Bill Boer have Big Bird (4615) in a sparkling 5th
place,
just ahead of ???.
..
|
|
|
Alf
Easy and
Sandy Clifford thriving on the lighter stuff as they round off the 2nd
beat in 7th place, followed by Richard Stone (4960) and Joe Schnur.
Note
the lift that is saving Brian Love (white hull, just to the right of
centre)
a lot of distance and gaining on all those who joined the layline
parade
too soon!l
