Start of the midday Tamar Memorial Trophy race: Bob Sampson and Jane Anderson get away first, with Robin Spiller’s Streaker making a good start to leeward on the way to an impressive third place
The whole fleet of 16 boats in view as they head for Pinky on a close reach
A tightly-bunched fleet at the start of the afternoon’s Cup Race, this time making for the Home 2 buoy before starting the tactical beat to West Red
As the photo indicates, some pretty choppy water for helms to contend with at times: as so often with a (mainly) westerly wind, the breeze was really quite brisk across the middle of the lake between West and Inlet, whilst there were rather more placid conditions at both the top and bottom of the lake
Bob on the plane, heron on the wing – a stunning photo that captures a special moment: unlike albatrosses, herons clearly aren’t birds of ill omen for mariners, as Bob went on to complete a double of first places
Adam Hilton’s distinctive yellow-hulled Solo in the foreground, hotly pursued by a disparate group of dinghy classes – all competing via the (sometimes abstruse) alchemy of Portsmouth Yardstick handicap racing
James Pollard right on the heels of Jane Anderson as they harden up round Dam Green
