Sprint Series 1





                                A day of sprinting around the cans...


                    The day was promising , a few yachts turned out, only four dinghies ... but it was a pleasant day to be on the water...


                                                         Barry and crew were ready
                                                                              

                                           Restless was drowning in tug wash before it even started ..


           
                    It was Debbie's first actual Race on Intrigue... and they gave her the ride of her life!

                                       Miss Behaviour and a start buoy were in that mix somewhere...


                                                           Oops .. start again...


Christopher didn't want to play anymore


                                               Miss Behaviour was in fine form..

 
Solitaire .. and Tuan met in the middle ..


                           The Impulse sailors were getting ready for the State Titles next weekend ..


                                          There were close starts ....


                                      .. with the Pacer keeping amongst it ...


 
David was showing some unbeatable style





                                           Scott was watching the birds... or the sails .. Which one?




                                  Sue and Colleen got off to a muddy start, but made a good recovery


                                                  Scott tried to take on the Red Rib .... He lost!

 
Ray was going side on to confuse us ..


                                                .. and then there was Intrigue ... Taking on the BIG GUYS!








                        I'm not sure about Double Harmony.... certainly a load of angst for Debbie


                                                       Restless kept it civil !

 


                                        Solitaire had ditched the pirate gear and looked serious

 
 
 


                                                                The Dinghies were racing again ...



 
Intrigue showed off her colours ...




                                                          Anna was having a bad hair day...

 
Tuan had Tom home to get them organised ...
 

                                                 .. but he searched in vain for a spinnaker...

 
Davis was practising round and round ...
 



                                              Little boats, big boats...hard work and smiles
                                                                                     






                                                                     Bows and sterns




                                                                  brightly coloured boats...

 
and yachts in symmetry... to end the day..
