Leeward Mark Rounding. Sure looks like the inside boat has touched the mark! The telephoto lense may make it look closer than it is. The outside boat (wooden transom), 7200, is trying to slow down and cut inside.

Alex Murray and husband Iain Murray completing a gybe in Swing Steer and Swear. The Murray's use a North American style rig, with a Proctor D mast, and Danger sails, rather unlike the other Australian rigs.

The pack coming into the leeward mark after a reach.


First beat after the gate start.

To hoist or not to hoist.... a tough call on a tight reach.

Reaching is SOOO much fun!

Go fast, or go high to protect your air?
