Sailing - The sport that keeps on giving !!

       
                   
     My favourite shot for the day !!                                                     
                                                                 

                                                                                                                      Wayne Laverty KBSC

                                             After finishing the season two weeks ago-
                            suddenly we have two more weeks of competition announced!
    I'm not complaining- softer winter light, better colours , beautiful blue skies some good action ...
                                                                               
             Eight Impulse sailors and a 1'25 turned out to re -run a missing Championship Race...
                                                                       

                                                    It was a tightly packed fleet for the start

                                                 David Cue changed tack early to get clean air
                                                        Scot was rugged up for winter

                                                   William was visiting from Keppel Bay

                                                       Steve was putting in a big effort

                                                             

                                                             Long legs have to help!

                                                  Plenty of height .. one way or another

                                             it was packed at the windward mark
                                       
                                          The tug playing at A7 gave us plenty to think about

                                                           but he backed off to watch the race

                                                       The wind was fluky

Windspiel and Pigs in Space sailed side by side for a while 

                                                       

                                             Everyone went round again .. places changing leg by leg

                                                        Fraser and Chris were battling it out
                                                      ... and that was just in their own boat!!

                                                           Family racing ..

                                                              Ray and Maria fought to the finish

                                Maria was determined to propel that boat over the line first ...

                                                       

Race Two confused us..

 boats were going backwards .. sideways, not much forward motion 

                                                      A re start for the Keppel visitors

                                                                 Every which way...

                                                                    some nice action ..

                                                            Afternoon sunlight on the sails

                                                      Formation racing ...

                                                  Around the mark one more time ...

                                               

                                         ... distant yachts returning from the Fairway Buoy Race
