Jane Anderson heads the first quartet of boats across the line, whilst behind the breeze died so that the rest of the fleet were left stranded some way behind the start

James Pollard gives Roger Heasman’s speedy Topper Blaze an outing, successfully negotiating the gybe at Dam Green
Despite forecast light winds, in reality from time to time they produced some gusts that were enough to make keep helms on their toes: here Nathan Pollard heels to one of these
Nicky Buckett and Viki Herbert-Coulson take the lead in the afternoon Pursuit Race, which they held to the end; Elliot Pomeroy’s Topper and John Savage’s Solo are some little way behind in second and third place by this stage
The combination of a quick class of boat and a less favourable helm handicap than some competitors means that James Pollard’s Blaze is only just starting the race as Nicky Buckett’s Bosun comes down the lake towards the end of its first lap
And now in stereo…(though only if you’re colour-blind); Sue Murray and Bob Sampson (with the blue gennaker) just ahead of Roger Heasman and Annie Quartermain (with the pink gennaker)
