V Twin

 

I watched the whole race, the fleet completed 3 laps, the Twin was finished after 2  (I presume that the RO gave up on it ever getting round again).

 

By the time that I got there the boats were on the water and lining up for the start. A couple of Contenders, Blaze, Phantom, Laser 3000, Laser 2000 and a few other assortments, all in the mix waiting for the gun.  Lurking a little further back, like some kind of predator, the Twin.  As the lead boats rounded the first mark I realised why the Twin had been held back, it was struggling to punch the tide!  The whole fleet, Lasers and all had left it for dead.  After the three legs of a triangle, the Twin and a Laser 2000 were neck and neck at the back of the fleet  (the Laser 2000 had gone upwind with its top batten inverted, down wind with its kite mostly in the water and with its main a foot from the top of the mast!).

It had been my intention to photograph the boat on its return to land, but when everyone else came in, GRF stayed out and my time ran out.

Atrocity.
