Once again we owe John Jermy a thank you for permission to post these shots of Margaret Rintoul.
 |
| Margaret, reaching in flat water and light air... |
 |
| Broad Reaching, we love it... That's GT's new Adams 10 in the background... |
 |
| Now it's a bit harder, to windward with only a No 2... |
 |
| Ah... running again that's more like it... |
 |
| Working again with J Morton's Eventide to windward |

| A start at last.... |
Margaret Rintoul and others in the (Inaugural) Sydney Hobart Classic Yacht Regatta...
What a great regatta this turned out to be for Margaret Rintoul with a first and third in Division being good enough for the division win. So great to see all those classic yachts out there racing just as hard as when they were launched...
.
Margaret Rintoul making for the division start, Windrose NIF behind to windward..
 |
| Margaret with Maris to windward as we head for the start. A perfectly timed run... The Pin is visible just off the stern of the launch in the bottom right of the photo. |
 |
| Margaret with Nerida ahead just to windward squeezing Maris to windward and astern. Further down the course the reach tightened and Margaret revelled in the conditions as the water became soother and we sailed away from our rivals... |
 |
| In these conditions and sailed moderately well, Margaret is almost unbeatable by her contemporaries. Flat-water and a broad reach, even with only the #2 flying upfront we steadily slipped away... Nerida now to windward and astern. |
 |
| The wind gods were kind to the old girl on the day and we proved unbeatable. |
 |
A winner, sailed moderately well though some improvement required, as is evident here...
The Crew: Bruce Gould Helm, Steven Collins Genoa, John Brooks Main, John Sheridan Mizzen, John McClurcan Tactics, Donny Finch Foredeck, PK Mast Pit
A lonely picture... I thought would be a nice lead in to this page as we are still minus a Mizzen ...
A lovely photo, taken in the Pacific Islands when the Tardis family owned the yacht in the sixties. Here she is fully canvassed with Yankee outside the Staysail, full Main and Mizzen and a Mizzen Staysail (Spinnaker) set between the Mizzen and the Mainsail tacked off the forward coach-house.
Crew: Bruce Helm, Brooksy Main, John Sallfeld Genoa, PK everything else except the drinks...
And importantly the girls are Prue, Nina and Kaye.
Note we are still missing a Mizzen boom... One can but hope...
