The start of the midday race, with just a small four-boat fleet braving the miserable conditions: it looks calm as a mill-pond down by the pontoon but clearly this was just a snare and a delusion
Tight rounding the windward mark, with James Pollard holding on to his initial lead
Enough wind on the open water for Nathan Pollard to have to hike out hard in his Laser Radial
James Pollard looking happy and relaxed in his Laser 4.7 as he passes Dam Green
And then clearly much more wind has appeared from somewhere as James and Adam head for Dam Red
Sue Murray gets away first in her Laser 4.7 in the afternoon race, whilst Adam Hilton is still recovering from a capsize at a critical moment – though this didn’t stop him from becoming the eventual winner on handicap
Bob Sampson, now with a full sail on his Laser, is about to start blanketing Sue Murray’s Laser 4.7 as they bear away around Dam Red
