Here's a basic primer on sailboat racing rules we hope that you are familiar with before our 2013 ~ 30th Annual July 13th and 14th Regatta
Boats on a port tack shall give way to boats on starboard tack (Rule 10).
When boats are on the same tack, the boat to windward shall keep clear of a leeward boat (Rule 11).
When boats are on the same tack, the boat that is astern shall keep clear of the boat ahead. (Rule 12).
When a boat is tacking (changing tack) it shall keep clear of boats that are not tacking Rule 13
We started off in light air, so I'll start this off in light air sailing. A grouping of the fleet on Saturday's triangle race.
Larry Ravencraft of S/V TRAEUMER did not race this regatta but he did take a number of very nice pictures. Here's one he forwarded me to share with the group. The starting mark of one race:
Lots of thanks to Bill for making VAGABOND available as the committee boat.
Larry Ravencraft captured this excellent image of a large portion of our fleet rounding the starting buoy in light air. Great composition of layered mountains, forested slope and a cluster of sailing vessels.
Another of Catherine's photographs, this one of Joel Greene's sailing vessel GATCHUTCHA.
The wind picked up later in the morning and the race starts were more dynamic.
Catherine at the helm race 3. I think AQUILA placed 13th in this one, is that right Mr. Tyra?
Another Ravencraft photo here of the BRENDA J in her smart yellow dress.
Ravencrafts' sailed out on TRAEUMER to photograph the race. Some of their images will appear here when they forward them to me.
Catherine really managed to capture the light and mood in this pastel-like image of the sailing vessel SEA SPIRIT.
If we offered a prize for sailing with enthusiasm, not many contenders would come close to one of our resident pirates, Adam Wharf on DAVEY JONES REVENGE. Photo by Catherine Brown.
FIOL; ever notice how skillfully this swift vessel sails along? Another image by Catherine Brown.
Well no wonder we took 13th place. Every time we were in the company of DESERT FISH Fred was stealing our air as shown in this image caught by Larry Ravencraft.
Lets shift to our 27th Regatta day two French Rocks, 8 mile race. Once again we started out in light air and once again we finished the race with the winds building out of the south (I know Cathy wants me to note: they blew all afternoon and over night as well). Photo by Catherine Brown, AQUILA
Catherine really captured the dramatic light between the incoming frontal clouds, the green mountains, and the early, low angle sun on the sails...
R.P.S.C. member, Russ Doyle was shoreside and caught some good images of our regatta fleet sailing by during the Around French Rocks Race. Thanks for sharing Russ!

Thanks...
