Kathy explains to Mike how to rig her dad's W2055 which Mike is borrowing this weekend.
...

Sunshine (3615: Bill and Ann Rogers) and Bumble Bee (4613: Chris and Carolyn Kofler) get set to sail.
...

View from the boathouse roof: Eager to get out there and race, Al has pushed SHADES off the beach and is just completing his main raising by plugging the boom back onto the gooseneck as Alfie looks on. Leaving the tiller is pretty safe, as long as the board is full up.
...

Now Julia has arrived, and they're off - sort of. Note the mast and boom painted black with Awlgrip,
most of which was still on there at this point.
...

(l to r) The McKays, the McNutts and the Kools work to get out from the lee of Falconbridge Island.
...

We have a lovely northerly breeze: (l to r) John de Boer in his new W6080 (6090, really??),
Mike and Kathy, Gord and John, Bill and Ann
...

Start into a fine westerly breeze - the usual on Trout Lake!
...

Bill and Ann Rogers in Sunshine
...

George Blanchard and Grace Chapman get a gusty lift on port tack.
...

Al and Julia chase Bill and Ann down a close-reach second leg.
...

Grace hikes her heart out while George helps by letting the traveller off to leeward
- something I've never been able to get to work for me!
...

It's a fun day on Trout Lake!
...

The view from leeward
...

Hans and Mudl play it safe by keeping their sails eased.
...

Chris and Carolyn have Bumble Bee in ...
...

... perfect upwind trim.
...

Al and Julia cross Hans and Mudl near the windward mark along the north shore.
...

A classic Uncle Al (3854) start: slightly late at the windward end where he'll have freedom to tack
- unlike all the others in this picture.   for full-size pic, click here
...

Alfie and Mike (2478) eat a starboard knock, having decided the left side of the first beat will be favoured,
a decision that turns out to pay as they ...
...

... roll in from the left corner with the lead.
...

A quick tack around the mark and now it's time to decide whether this reach will support a spinnaker.
...

Also having gained by going left are Hans (421) and Derwyn (4615).
