Adam Hilton getting away first on the midday race, but sadly was over the line (notoriously easy to do on a Start Line 2) and was disqualified
During the extended drought, this was one of the very few grey and wet days; here Sue Murray has taken the lead in her Laser Radial
A dogleg round Zebra to a gybe at Inlet White and then the leaders embark on a downwind leg across the lake in the (mainly) south-easterly breeze
Sue Murray in her Laser Radial still maintaining her lead over Bob Sampson and Nathan Pollard, even though the latter two were in full-rig Lasers
Sue still hanging on to her lead – note the growing beach in the background as the water levels start to drop
Bob Sampson looks to have just taken the lead (note the stoic fishermen on the shore, suffering for their sport – but each to their own….)
By the afternoon race, the rain and mists had rolled away, hence the much crisper photo… Changing down to his brightly-coloured Radial sail for the Tamar series, Nathan Pollard is first across the line
Bob Sampson has gained the lead from Nathan as the fleet rounds Middle and heads up the lake into a rather stronger breeze
Don’t look now, but they’re just behind you, Nathan…
And now in stereo… Sue and Penny reaching down the lake in close contention – and they stayed much the same till the end of the race, when Sue was over the line just a few seconds ahead of Penny
Concentration that paid off… Bob Sampson on the way to victory on handicap in the afternoon race
