Toby Tobias and Ellie Tucker bear away round Dam Green at the start of the midday Cup Race, whilst Elliot and Jack Pomeroy are close on their heels
The leading group of half a dozen boats on the broad reach down to Middle: James Pollard’s Laser 4.7 in the lead, with Jane Chadney’s Topper overlapped and Jane Anderson’s Laser 4.7 to windward. The Bosun of Nicky Buckett and Annie Quartermain is tucked in just ahead of Steve Axford’s Laser Radial, with Nathan Pollard’s Topper making up the final boat of the six
Almost continuous wall-to-wall sails, with the bulk of the fleet in shot as they head downwind to Pinky; it may look deceptively calm, but note the crews’ arms reaching out to the boom in several of the double handers
Not easy upwind, either: the effort showing on Nicky and Annie’s faces as club Bosun the ‘Rob Eason’ beats back towards the Dam
The start of the first in the Peter Pocock series for 2015; eventual winner James Williams in the Topper leads the fleet
Probably not much of the Bosun’s rudder left in the water as Toby Tobias and Julie Tucker also beat back, in the afternoon Pursuit race this time. And no, Toby hasn’t fitted a bowsprit – it’s a mounting for trying out his Go-Pro digital video camera
Good close-up of Paul Whybrow, as he beats back towards the race box side of the lake
Almost the sole remnants of the original 15-strong fleet that set out for the Pursuit; here James Pollard is already away clear in the lead – even from the upwind side, the whitecaps are can still be seen
