The entire fleet in shot at the start of the midday race; Adam Hilton’s Solo shows clear in front, having made an absolutely perfect start, hitting the line at speed as the hooter sounded. sadly, he couldn’t believe that he wasn’t over – and turned back to make an unnecessary re-start. James Pollard’s Laser is already round the mark and heading downwind

Clearly the Buckett Bosun hasn’t had it’s early season clean – and it’s in the process of losing a batten to boot
Start of the afternoon race; Robin Spiller shows clear ahead, but downwind of several other boats
Jane Chadney squeezes her Laser 4.7 round Dam Red; Sue Murray in the RS200 looks for a gap between the line of dinghies heading for the mark on starboard tack
James Pollard (eventual winner on handicap) on a close reach back towards the start line, just ahead of the RS200
When the course allows the RS 200 to fly its gennaker, the boat really takes off; here it’s starting to show a turn of speed, even in the afternoon’s fairly gentle easterly breeze
