More from the slow boats regatta

These were taken on board Shemara. Really must do something about that jib halyard tension!

The yellow and white kite is an asymmetrical spinnaker. It works OK but really needs a spar two or three feet longer (to work with the regular jib still up). We tried the other symmetrical kkite which is great, but didn't get any pics of it up. You can see it drying out a the bottom.

Also here is Sean in action with his funny way of rowing backwards.

Slow boat regatta

Organised by the crew of Tracer, about six yachts joined in a race for the slow boats, followed by a barbie. These photos were taken by one of their crew. We followed up with a barbie at Milan's shed.

Photos: Milan getting his new spinnaker pole sorted for Charlie ; Mike trying to thread a masthead jib halyard for Galatea ; milling around the start line are Charlie (giving Shemara a tow out) and Galatea ; Thelma in full flight ; Charlie ; Shemara and Thelma ; on board Tracer ; 3 pics of Shemara at Somes Island ; BBQ scenes (plus Mike and Craig looking like they're coming to trade for muskets).

I'll put my pics up when I find the cable for my camera!
