16th July 2017 gallery images Rather a dreary day, as just a quartet of boats take to the water, with Nathan Pollard well placed to windward taking an early lead Heading off into the murk Nathan holds the inside line round Dam Green, whilst Brian and James Pollard are down to leeward Vicki’s Topper pointing high in the foreground, with Geoff Floyd’s Solo just behind James Pollard making a high speed departure from the start line on starboard tack as he shaves just past the pontoon at the helm of the Tasar Once more into the gloom, dear friends… Geoff Floyd getting his Solo well ahead of the Topper in the afternoon race And at last the weather seems to be improving towards the later stages of the afternoon’s Gosling Shield race, as the Tasar eases past the Topper
