... Butch, Joe, Eddy Kraft and Richard (r).
...

A sudden lift has left Eddy (l) and Richard overlaying the mark while Jim Heffernan cleverly tacks inside them.
...

As you can see from how high Jim (r) is able to point, this was quite the lift!!
...

And they're off to the offset mark, about 50 yards away.
...

No doubt making sure that they are nicely backlit, the lads sail a bit high on starboard tack.
...

Jim Lingeman (2136), meanwhile, tacks inside of Mike and Steve Anspach (l) while ...
...

... Mike Murto (2959) comes in on port, hoping he'll be able to cross Mo Metcalf.
...

Nearing the Flying Scot finish, it's Robert Newland and Cesar Toso (5239) of LESC getting set to nail down a 3rd, their best finish of the series.
...

Jeff and Amy Linton (3925) won the other two Scot races but won't manage better than a 7th in this one which was shortened after the second run!!
...

Andrew and Lisa Hayward (FS2383) protect their  ...
...

... lead over Ron Pletsch with Barry Milborn (2068).
...

Marc and Michele (3854) have caught up on ...
...

... some Scots as they pull away towards a first-place finish in this shortened race. Butch Minson with Ellen Hill will take 2nd ahead of the De Brincats, Joe and Brian, while Richard and Uncle Al will barely nip out ...
...

... Gale and Gary Shoemaker (4106) in the tightest of downwind finishes. Peter and Peter Hylen's 6th was best among non-spinnaker teams.
