'ere y'are folks... hot off the presses. This is a slideshow of pics from race 1 *only*, both C18s and C22s. Just click on the image.

I have no photos from race 3. I may do a slideshow of race 4 but it's unlikely I'll post a slideshow of race 2... just TOO many pics!

NOTE These photos have been reduced for photobucket. For anyone wanting full size images, I'd probably send out a CD of the complete set for a nominal fee to cover postage.

EDIT: I've reworked the albums to be by race. Also did the slideshow in a different way which looks much better. You can even do fullscreen now!

I relented and uploaded all of Race 2... after culling there were only about 140 pics Shocked

You'll probably only be able to see the first 100 in this slideshow view but you can look at the album and see all of the pics:

excellent stuff Max, just shows with a jib that's 80% the size of the genoa we were still well overpowered.

DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS

If you go to the pictures, you should be able to download any of them. When you get the slideshow, in the bottom left corner it says "back to main view". Click on that.

That takes you to the thumbnails of all the photos. Click on the photo you want and that shows you a larger version of it. Along the top of the photo is a menu and one option now is "Download". Click on it and the photo is yours.

My thanks to Michael Yeates for pointing out the setting in photobucket that allows this to happen.

Us too, the whole weekend. I have had my old main refurbished for those kinds of heavy days, we simply had too much with the big roached up racing main. I kicked myself all the way back to Brisbane for not changing to a jib on the first day, the C22 really does balance beautifully with a big main and a blade jib in that kind of stuff and still exceed hull speed... thump... that was me kicking myself again.
