Jury: Mark Taylor who had his rudder surgically removed by a port-tacker while lying 7th well into the day's final race asked for - and got - redress: a 7th-place finish in race 8. ... |
 |
| One more day and one
more race to go. Ian and Kevan have already won the 2004 Worlds but
second remains wide open, depending on what tomorrow brings: If we get
a race, we will get a second drop race, something that will appeal to
Robin Barker (2nd from left) and Guy Hacon (red shirt)
who have two races they would dearly love to forget. ... |

... all staked out. It's a small world: Terry Gregg (standing
beside the guy in the gray shirt at right), the 1961 Canadian
Wayfarer champion and the original owner of Dave Hansman's Banshee (W282),
turns out to be best friends with Uncle Al's next-door neighbour, Athol
Blair, in Oakville. He had recognized Al's boat on the front lawn as a
Wayfarer years ago, and decided to
come to visit when he heard about the Worlds - something that didn't
exist when Terry was in Wayfarers.

together at the awards - Kevan having to go back overseas Saturday
afternoon - we should point them out here: Ian Porter is on the far
left and his ace crew, Kevan Gibb, is the one wearing the blue cap on
the right. ... |
