 |
| Series leader, Al Schonborn
(3923) is willing to be a bit late at the windward end, so
that he will
have freedom to tack and to implement his and Marc's race
strategy of
playing the south shore where the leading Interlakes have
done very
nicely. - for full-size pic, click here ... |
 |
| Not only will Al (3923) be
in
good shape to tack once he's pinched off his pal, Dan
Hockenberry
(4180), he's also going to be among the first to get the
latest puff
angling off the south shore!! - for full-size pic, click here ... |
 |
| Al and Karel Vorel (3914)
meet
Dan and Scott on the beat. ... |
 |
| Near the east end of the
lake:
As Kevin and Cece hug the north shore on the run in their
Interlake,
Scott Wright (3982) and Dave Smith cross Bruce Nowak
(3439) coming off
the far shore on port. ... |
 |
| A Rebel crowd gathers near
mark
4??? ... |
 |
| Bruce crosses Dave who then
... ... |
 |
| ... tacks into relatively
clear
air to windward and astern of Bruce. ... |
 |
| Looking east at a fine
Sunday
morning sailing view. ... |
 |
| Brian Main (4160) defends
against Larry Schmida (4191) on the run while a pair of Interlakes have rounded and are now battling up the second beat. ... |
 |
| Running along the north
shore,
Ron and Catie (4171) are bow to bow with Dave and Julie
(4176) while Scott and Ann lurk close astern. ... |
 |
| Bruce gybes to starboard
astern
of Dave and Amy (4150) and Woody with Bill to get even
closer to the
shore - perhaps in hopes of getting a stronger, funneling breeze right near the shore. ... |
 |
| View from the club as a
closely
bunched Rebel fleet nears the end of race 4's first run.

| Duelling Interlakes: Bob
Bradley
(1332) and Steve Aspery ... |
 |
| As Phil and John (4195)
cruise
towards #5, Tom
Marriott (909) struggles to escape Andy Nixon's (1318)
backwind. ... |
 |
| CeCe Smith looking good on
the
1248 spinnaker as she and Kevin pursue Mike Sharkey whose crew seem to have a much better grasp of the spinnaker today. ... |
 |
| Port-tacker, Bob Bradley
(1332),
keeps clear of a Rebel beating on starboard. ... |
 |
| Steve Aspery and crew meet
Dave
and Amy (1450). Again, Steve (on port) must keep clear,
while Dave
(4150) must not alter course such that Steve cannot keep
clear - even
if, at this point, Dave gets a huge lift or knock! |
