Ready for Jury action: Mel Preston
..
The 41-boat fleet prepares to ...
..
... head out into a westerly breeze of 10-15 knots.
..
With Bacardi as our generous sponsor, we got some aerial shots ...
...
... of the Practice Race from a chartered helicopter. Note the up and down wind conditions.
..
A unique view of the windward mark
..
A striking view of the wave interference created by Wayfarers - 
a factor we perhaps do not take into enough account.
..
One man's lovely spi reach is another's capsize drill - nice, warm, clean water though!
..
A lovely day.
..
After the race, Don Gallagher (l) prepares to accept a helping hand from John Gierl, W Yearbook publisher.
..
Irma Gierl does a foot fend-off and then ...
..
... grabs the paddle just in time.
..
Don works at the Red Herring haul-out under the watchful eye of his crew, Sue Slocum (r) and Irma.
..
A panoramic view ...
..
... of the Sailing Centre launch area
..
One last aerial view: Even after only one beat, the fleet is already well spread out. UKWA entries took the top 14 places, I seem to recall.
