Small friendly sailing club, based at Upper Tamar Lake, with dinghy racing, cruising and a busy social programme

Four full-rig Lasers head the 18-strong fleet at the midday start, with Nicky Buckett well positioned to windward
Tight racing in the Laser fleet, as a bunch of four helms arrive at Dam Green, with Graham Joyce at the front of the pack
John Dabbs up at the sharp end, surmounting the intricacies of using a spinnaker (a rare sight at Tamar – but with the course including a reach from Pinky to Dam Green, a sufficiently long leg to make it worth a try)
Only a slightly smaller start for the afternoon race, with a split between port and starboard tack starters
On the reach back from Pinkie, with the Lasers showing at the front of the fleet and Jane Anderson pulling away clear
The wind picked up for the afternoon race (with the westerly probably aided by a sea breeze), giving sufficient power to get the Lasers on the plane across the middle of the lake
Good close-up of Nicky Buckett, going nicely in a quieter patch
More close quarters competition at Dam Green (apparently sufficiently nerve-racking enough to get Robin biting his fingernails)
