Championship for the yacht fleet and Head of the Harbour for the dinghies




      We held our breath for a tropical downpour all afternoon, 
   fortunately the rain held off despite the dark and ominous skies.

                              Crew on Super Freaky have developed extreme balance.                                                 

                                                 the yacht fleet made quick work of the start ,
                                                         ...crews settling in for a leisurely afternoon
                                                   
                                                 Doctor's Orders with David Mann on the helm
                                                   Orange shirts for Easter John??

                                                       and so they disappeared
                         



                                              Steve Mc Guigan was on trapeze on Solitaire
                                                         A tidy group as they approached A7


                                                      .. and that was the yachts .. Tick!
Martin Cooper led the dinghy fleet to A7

                                                            David Cue on his tail..
                                                             Steve was keeping low
                                                         Sheldon following closely ...
                                                    Carli and Maria were having their own tussles
                                  but positions change from leg to leg; nothing is a sure thing..

                                                               





                                          Race Two and everyone decided to cut free from the fleet


                                                       rounding marks saw some action...


                                           A Gas ship provided a welcome diversion ..


                         Restless was way in front .. a clean hull makes a world of difference



                                      the dinghy fleet continued going round and round ..
                                              the skies were getting even darker...
                                       the ladies were holding their own ..


                                               Solitaire was second home ...

                                                       Super Freaky was cool ...
                                                         Fleur De Lis had adventures to come
                                                      ... a wee stop for prawning ?
                                                      The multi hulls had a slow race
