John Duncalf at the front of a gently drifting fleet as the horn sounds
But then they all line line up into a tightly packed phalanx of boats
Plenty of time for an extended chat, as Bosun and Enterprise ghost past Zebra
Lasers at the front of the fleet, but surprisingly, Adeney Pooler’s Graduate and Adam Hilton’s Solo are only just behind, resulting in well-earned first and second places respectively on handicap
John Buckett’s Otter temporarily at the front in the afternoon’s Pursuit Race, just ahead of early leader Nathan Pollard, but the red hull of Paul Whybrow’s Solo is looming up in the background, on its way to victory
The afternoon’s racing was in considerably more wind, with a steadyish north-easterly pushing the boats along quite nicely at times; here, a gust has Adeney’s Graduate up on the chine
The powerboat heads out to get ready to record the finishing places, with Paul Whybrow having a comfortable cushion ahead of the chasing fleet
Tight competition for the minor places, as gulls swirl across the foreground to give sometime of a maritime atmosphere at the landlocked reservoir
