Crew: Bruce Gould Helm, John Brooks Main, John Moorcroft and PK on Geona and foredeck, Prue, Kaye and Yeve on trim and drinks...

A close up of the crew...

And off we go seen here crossing Nigel Stoke's  Fidelis while chasing Hearts Ease...

Margaret, just ahead of Hearts Ease to windward and abaft...

After the ball... the drinks arrive... and the gear is furled...

The winners are grinners (we think)

A decent-sized Gin...

Brooksy, resting after a long squawk on the main...

Hard to separate a man and his Ginger Ale...

Margaret Rintoul, tacking off Cannae Point beating back down the Harbour, Geona not sheeted properly yet and Phil is calling the trim.

Margaret Rintoul off Cannae Point, the backwash from the swell made steering difficult here...

Margaret Rintoul Hard Reaching southbound...

Margaret Rintoul, Hard Reaching South...

There was a big swell running between the Heads...

I imagined I had it all under control here...

And then this happened...

Margaret shows a clean wake, hard running down the Harbour on Sunday.

Lots of water on the foredeck...

Donny seems to think the foredeck is safer now...

Late on Sunday, the gale eased a little and we rolled out the full No 2...

The crew for the regatta was as follows, John Brooks (Main), Phil Mulligan (Genoa Trim) Anssi Paatero (Genoa Trim), John Sheridan (Mizzen Trim), Don Finch (Foredeck), Anna Musgrove (Pit), Peter Hemery (Tactics), PK (Helm)
