Many thanks to Stephen Muller for these photographs, taken of the Pursuit Race on the afternoon of 14th June.
May look as if everybody’s heading in different directions; in fact John Savage in the Solo is in the lead running back down the lake, whilst most of the rest of the fleet is still beating up the lake
Bob and Meg Higgs in the RS200 with the gennaker pulling, ahead of Derek Farnfield in the Streaker and Vicki in the Topper
Roger Ford and Val Shillito (the eventual winners) in the Wayfarer chasing down Emily Veal, going well in the Laser 4.7, with John Buckett in the heeling Otter beating up to West
Bosuns of John Chandler and Toby Tobias (who were locked together for much of the race) ahead of Roger Ford and Emily Veal
Real close quarter’s stuff…
Close-up of Roger and Val in the Wayfarer
Thought this was so good a picture that put a version onto the website home page
And a close-up of Emily, just a few yards behind….
John urging his Topper forward…
A few moments later on; two Solos heading in different directions in the background
Close up of David Higgs, keeping the Laser flat going upwind
Three studies in concentration…
Roger on starboard tack heading towards the pontoon; note the water almost up to the spillway on the dam in the background – not bad for mid-June…
