life afloat

Dragon European Championship 2013. Last race. Classically beautiful boats, not fast but reasonably sophisticated, making for excellent, close racing. Wind at 8-10 knots from the west (after boxing around the compass for a while in the morning), sunshine finally out, short chop over a long swell, perfect conditions. POR 55 winner, subject to confirmation.


White wings, bunched start

Shimmering beauty

Le bleu et le jaune

Now you see them …

… now you don't

Last run

Spinnaker ballet

Tight finish

Happy winners
