Ahh the "longways reaching set"
, blame the sheet trimmer for being slow to trim on, and just get on with it. I have done it, much to the non amusement of the skipper. Forward of the mast in race conditions seems to access a parallel universe where everything doesn't quite happen as it should.

I like the last one with them all sailing away. Could maybe use that. Then others are all a bit 'racy' rather than cruisy.

Nothing like as cruel as I was to my own crew after this debacle - right at the end about 13:20. Someone was bound to find it and post it eventually, so I thought I'd bite the bullet!
Edit: Why didn't that work? .... Ah! it has to be "uk" not "www"
Been on a boat where that happened, I'm not going to say who's fault it was but it was a downwind start on the Round Arran 2 handed race from Largs and I wasn't on the helm.

Definatly a fantastic collection of pics, but as Nick saya why not stick with the cruising pics which is what the majority on here are into.
No offence meant towards you competitive guys/gals.

A dire situation, dont suppose MayDays were thought up then.
I just hope that ship on the Horizan managed to pick them up!
Not the KonTiki is it, or is it too old for that!
