A tight group of four, seconds after the horn for Race 8 in the Tamar Memorial Trophy series, in a wind that at the last minute had swung through over 90 degrees to give almost a running start
All clear ahead? Toby Tobias, peering under the boom, with Geoff Floyd as crew
Despite fears of a windless drift that dissuaded some potential sailors from venturing out, after a couple of short laps the wind had built to quite a substantial south-easterly; John Dabbs is looking comfortable heading downwind in the Gull, whilst Alan Comber in the Enterprise appears to be trying for an overtaking manoeuvre to windward of Robin Spiller’s Streaker

Start of the afternoon Cup Race 5; Jane Anderson makes one of her trademark good starts in her Laser Radial, though almost out of sight behind her, Roger Heasman has got a flyer to windward in his Streaker
Although the telephoto compresses distances, this bunch is still pretty tightly packed as they beat away from the start in a wind that had swung round to a wobbly north-easterly
Definitely enjoying their racing; Toby Tobias in the Bosun again, this time with Cilla Gilbert taking over as crew for the afternoon race
