A decent breeze (Wellington style) for the latest round of sailing:
Esprit and Andiamo exiting the marina
The Guarantee tacking during the prestart
Nedax Backchat, One Red Dog, and The Guarantee (background) during the prestart
Pretty Boy Floyd in some breeze
Astruso doing a practice run
Andiamo about to tack...
A ragged start with most of the yachts at the starboard end of the line. Starlight Express and Flying Boat (out of frame) seemed to do the best...
The Interisland ferry dwarfing PBF
Starlight Express on the final beat, eyeing The Guarantee as it blasts downwind
Nedax and Flying Boat battling as the bottom mark approaches
Astruso at high speed
Gucci got a little caught out, Resolve was catching up but...
...not for long
Starlight Express going like a train across the finish, taking line honours
Andiamo heading for second, as Eat My Shorts struggles back to the marina
The Guarantee crossing the line
Flying Boat at high speed - look at the mast bend
Nedax Backchat with a bowwave that seems to be level with the kite pole
Flying Circus surging across the finish
Gucci still carrying some speed just after finishing
Resolve wallowing across the line, just behind Gucci
One Red Dog approaching the finish...
...trips over a wave and buries the bow...
...and everything turns to custard
a recovery (of sorts)
Feel free to bookmark my Sailing Index, as I'll keep this updated as the sailing season progresses.
