| The leaders cruise past Burfort
Point as they come down the second reach. ... |
 |
| Dave and Carol have been hanging
on without their chute when both boats were doing hull speed, but that will suddenly change as Mark and Paul begin to plane beautifully. ... |
 |
| Just like that, the Taylors have
moved from 5th to 3rd. ... |
 |
| And now they're working on 2nd!! - for full-size pic, click here ... |
 |
| Ross and John demonstrate the
spinnaker/whisker pole. ... |

 |
| The second beat: it's still very
close among Mark (l), Alastair
and the earlier leader ... ... |
 |
| ... Sue (937). ... |
 |
| Also still right in the mix are
Andrew and Lori who have come right back to the rhumb line here. ... |

 |
| Mark and Paul are not far from
the RC boat (rhumb line) half-way up the beat, either. ... |
 |

as well as ... ... |
 |

| Fine form all around for the
Taylors ... |

| Alastair also uses the new
Heider jib and has it sheeted right in. ... |
 |
| Perhaps this jib, a Hansa as
well, could come in more?? ... |

|
 |
| The run: In the end it was
Alastair and Andrew (10137) rounding first off the second beat, and they are now pulling away from 2nd-place Andrew and Lori (3140). Mark and Sue are spinnakering along lying 3-4. - for full-size pic, click here ... |
