The start of Race 1: a pretty high-powered
group at the leeward end
includes Stuart Rix (9644), Quentin Strauss
(9488) and Neil Rushton (9627).
..
|
|
Jockeying for position a the minute before
a start.
..
|
|
Early in a first beat: Stuart Rix (l)
off to the races on port tack while Uncle Al (3854) looks good on starboard.
One of the two is quite lifted!
..
|
|
Some fine Lake Ontario wave action as
Uncle Al (3854) gybes and will hope to cross John Cawthorne (3654).
..
|
|
More spinnaker action in a lovely breeze.
..
|
|
Mike Mac and Simon Townsend show how
it's done.
They're not dead flat but their rudder and
wake show no sign of damaging weather helm.
..
|
|
Mike and Rani Pert return from a race
with an interesting spi configuration.
..
|
|
Stuart Rix (red & white spi) and
Neil Rushton (pink and yellow spi) are off to a nice lead in one of the
early races as Peter Dearnley (9578), Richard Stone (8288) and Mike McNamara
(9648) round onto the first reach in pursuit.
..
|
|
A closer view of the leaders.
..
|
|
Beautiful symmetry as Ian Porter (7588)
and Stuart Rix (9644) duel for the lead.
..
|
|
Note how Neil Rushton has opened up his
spi leech by stretching his spinnaker's luff.
..
|
|
Peter Morse and Andrew Jefferies have
8188 chomping along in a relaxing breeze.
..
|
|
Another shot of Mike and Simon doing
it right upwind. Note speed wrinkles in the main luff.
..
|
|
Anders Friis and Bjørn Christiansen
set off down the run in W421 borrowed from Mike Codd.
..
|
|
Uncle Al and Frank looking well trimmed
..
|
|
One more time - from the bow, this time.
..
|
|
Uncle Al and Frank set to gybe and set
off in pursuit of Mike Mac and Simon.
..
|
|
|
The first of a gybe mark sequence involving
Neil Rushton (9627) and Uncle Al.
