Midwinters Friday: race 2, part 2 photos by Ellen Hill and Kim Bergevin |
 |
| SHADES
approaches the end of the first beat with a healthy
lead. ... |
 |
| Hubert Dauch and
crew, Frank Goulay in fine form. ... |
 |
| Insufficient vang
aboard W1115 while Geoff and Pat (9483) reduce excess
twist with more vang. ... |
 |
| A little
housekeeping from Marc who has just let off the main and
jib cunningham and is now easing the vang a bit for the
run coming up right after the offset mark. ... |
 |
| Good form for
Marc and Al on their short reach to the offset mark as
Marc prepares for the spinnaker hoist. ... |
 |
| Nick and Joe
round a comfortable second. This picture shows nicely
that it's good, in these puffy conditions to overlay the
mark by a boatlength or so in order to give yourself
room to ease the boom out without hitting the mark while
rounding. ... |
 |
| Hubert and Frank
approach the windward mark in third with (l to r) Geoff,
Hank and Joe giving chase. ... |
 |
| Hubert sheets the
main straight off the transom - a method that a few
sailors swear by. But here it seems to be dragging him
aft and the bow is way to far out of the water, even
taking into account that Black Magic is crossing
a wave. ... |
 |
| Geoff Edwards and
Pat Reardon go up the second beat. ... |
 |
| Jansubar
at the windward mark in fine form as the winds have died
down some. ... |
 |
| Hubert and Frank
round with Joe and Peter approaching. ... |
 |
| Off to the offset
mark. ... |
 |
| The end of the
second beat ... ... |
 |
| ... Hank and Stan
in close pursuit of Geoff and Pat. ... |
 |
| Hank will have to
watch he doesn't let his boom out too soon or it'll hit
the mark. ... |
 |
| Joe and Peter in
1115 The Maltese Falcon reach the mark ... ... |
 |
| ...just ahead of
Richard, Michele and the Chick'n. ... |
 |
| No danger of
Joe's boom hitting the mark on this rounding!!!! ... |
 |
| W1115 approaches
the offset mark which mark the beginning of the second
run. |
