Sandy Clifford (left) and Bryan Sims demonstrate the fine teamwork

Uncle Al's caption has kindly been corrected by Steve Carroll (W6066) as follows:
"You have correctly identified Poul Ammentorp working on the stem fitting...  This picture was actually taken after the racing on the light air day (day 3 or 4) as a result of the mast almost coming down on the water.  Go figure - I sailed with my Dad in 44 knot winds and there were no problems and the forestay gives way on the lightest day!  I was able to rescue the rig without it coming down, make an emergency repair and continue sailing that day.  So, in the picture, Poul is working at the bow, I have crawled underneath the front deck to put the nuts on the stem fitting.  Watching Poul work is my friend, John Attwell, who came over with me to Denmark.  I never did find any Gammel Dansk stored in the boat!"

Tom Wharton looks on with a discerning eye. He thinks good sabotage would require Irish whiskey.
..
A few more finishing touches from Jesper.

Dave Connor and Scott Martin of Windsor, Ontario hope
the name of their borrowed boat won't be a sign of things to come!
