I found them! They aren't brilliant as it was a dull day and I used max zoom but they are ok for a record shot.Theres one in there that shows why reaching is scary! Sorry there isn't more variety but I only took photos for 5 mins after I had packed up from sailing.

Thanks for the photos Sue. I cant see which photo of reaching you are talking about, they are all on the wind.

Blimey I'd hate to see what they do reaching then!

Thanks for taking and posting the photos. It was actually a pretty full on day with 20+ knots. Really enjoyable racing at Valentine, Lake Macquarie.

Thanks again.

I'm glad you like them. I had a great sail that day on my 125 Tabou + 5.8m launching from where the photos were taken.

Great photos Sue.

What is Rick Murray (AUS4) doing in the second last photo? Looks like he is holding the uphaul.

Is this a new technique we should all adopt?

Its usually a light wind technique, but its obviously working for Rick - he was flying

Someone told me to get upwind better to hold the front of the boom or uphaul as you position your body forward.I tried it & it worked!

Muzza has a serious case of 'race face'
