Circling before the start of the race
Interesting sidelight on the dinghy classes racing at the club these days: whereas a few years back, sometimes Lasers made up the bulk of the fleet, in this shot there’s a wide variety of classes (with just one Laser, but two more were in the race)
Still jockeying before the start
One class in the ascendant at the moment is the Solo: here three are in shot – Paul Whybrow in the foreground, with Adam Hilton and John Savage visible further back
Boats in the foreground beating across towards Middle, whilst ahead boats already round the mark have borne away onto a run and the leaders are already round the downwind mark and heading back towards the Dam
Alan Comber (sailing Christine Marshall’s Otter) approaching Middle, chasing hard after Simon Veal’s Bosun and John Savage’s Solo
The wind beginning to pick up across the middle of the lake: Mary Carter gets her Laser onto the plane, whilst behind the Bosun (with Toby Tobias and Nathan Pollard) is kicking up a bow wave
