Australia Day Regatta 2018 - John Jeremy Photos

 

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

Being chased around the buoy by Jimmy Hardy's  Nerida... an old rival...

The Crew: Bruce Gould Helm, John Brooks Main, John Moorcroft Genoa, John Saalfeld Genoa, Nina Saafled, Prue Gould, Kaye Brooks, Yeve Moorcroft, and two others...

2019 Sydney Hobart Classic Yacht Regatta - John Jeremy Photos

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...

John took some great shots of the yachts reaching and running, some of us need to pay more attention to our genoa trim than others...

.

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...

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...

Nigel and Fidelis up close...

Australia Day Regatta 2006 - John Jeremy Photos

 Bruce is on the Australia Day Committee, so needless to say that Margaret Rintoul is a regular entry for the regatta... 

Thanks to John Jeremy for the Photos ©

Making a clean start at the pin end of the division...

Bruce has a tendency to pinch and the trimmer is not paying attention...

Bruce Helming, Brooks is on the Main, GT is on Genoa, Prue is Tactics, Kaye is on Drinks and Glen and partner are along for the ride...

And now everyone wants to be in the photo...

Reaching across the finish.  Note the missing Mizzen Mast, it's being re-varnished and having a new boom fabricated...

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)
