Too many rainbow flags is never enough

The sail past competing for the Prix D'Elegance.

Haitham came on board to be yellow for our rainbow.
John and Jenni came to collect Haitham and take our bunting to Mathilde. They are now wanting to do the racing next year.

This is the start on day one. Just a few of the 200+ boats.
And we're off on the first race. Cautiously reefed.
Race 2. We are sailing better now we've taken down the bimini. Some boats have emptied their water tanks, taken everything off their boats to keep them light. Given how high the winds have been I am not sure why.

STARBOARD!! Condor keeping out of our way before she ran aground.

Happy sailors after race 4. We sailed much better, got a great start in spite of the three knot current pushing us across the line and finally satyed ahead of many boats in our division. And then two killer tacks on the finish line to complete a fabulous day.
