September Post Race Wind Down 2008 gallery images

After the race, several of the club took out the Falmouth Bass Boat and, with the wind dropping away to a whisper, went up to Far Buoy and back very very very slowly indeed……

ot built for speed, perhaps

Line up the unusual suspects: (L>R: John, Stephanie, Jane C, Tim, Derek, Roger)

September Race Start 2008 gallery images

Circling before the start

A crowded bit of the lake

Nicky goes limp-wristed

A study in concentration

Look behind you before you pull away

Five seconds to the gun

And they’re off (actually the Wayfarer is already just about to round the first mark…)

And now the wind has shifted and some of the boats may struggle to make the mark…

Someone here is probably calling ‘Starboard’

John in the Solo; David in the Otter

Almost at the mark

One boat round; four still trying to get there

Meg in one Pico

Tom and Emily in another

September 2008 pre race gallery images

An early starter: Jane takes to the water whilst everybody else is still in the boat park

Now, where do I put this string….?

Simon, complete with admiring audience

Still admiring….

Simon, now with helping hands…

David and Meg intent on the sail; added commentary from the Vice-Commodore

John Leveridge and Mike Ford, intent on their pre-race preparation

Now what happens if I pull this…

John Chandler’s Bosun taking to the water

A phalanx of Lasers

Big boats and small boats….. (might appear to be a puzzling study in perspective if you didn’t know)

Amazing how long the shadows are in September

All helms gone to check the course…?

John D looks back

And so does Jane A

Jane Chadney showing the laid-back way of coming ashore

Simon checks the business end

John goes Solo

om and Emily edge away from the shore

They who must be obeyed (well, just for as long as they’re Race Officers, anyway….)

Early season 2009 gallery images

Some early season photographs from Adeney Poolley; at the end, there’s a panoramic photomontage created by Adeney by concatentating several photographs together, using an ‘Autostitch’ program – most interesting….

Note the seagulls; must have been hard weather at sea

Steve Axford out in front, on a visit back to the club

Course looks to be a gybe round Zebra, a reach up to Inlet White and then a run back out round the point…

A watchful safety boat crew in close proximity

Bob and Nicky in the RS200, with Jane and Simon in close order….

Simon tacks away whilst Jane is baulked by the canoe…

Mike in the now-departed Wanderer

The club as visitors to the lake see it – well, before the leaves come out, anyway…..

Action shot of Simon; interesting how the shot makes it almost look as if the lake surface is sloping downhill to the dam overflow….

Simon now just ahead of Jane’s 4.7

Simon heading up the lake; Mike still heading for the Dam…

Close up of Mike’s Wanderer

A slightly blurry Roger…

Vicki hard on the wind

And John not far behind….

14th June 2009 gallery images

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…

Paul Whybrow out in the latest addition to the growing Solo fleet

Jane Anderson chasing down the fleet in her Laser, after being last boat to start
