| Note the seagulls; must have been hard weather at sea | Steve Axford out in front, on a visit back to the club | Nearly the whole fleet.... | Course looks to be a gybe round Zebra, a reach up to Inlet White and then a run back out round the point... |

| A watchful safety boat crew in close proximity | Bob and Nicky in the RS200, with Jane and Simon in close order.... | Simon tacks away whilst Jane is balked by the canoe... | Mike in the now-departed Wanderer |

| The club as visitors to the lake see it - well, before the leaves come out, anyway..... | Action shot of Simon; interesting how the shot makes it almost look as if the lake surface is sloping downhill to the dam overflow.... | Simon now just ahead of Jane's 4.7 | Simon heading up the lake; Mike still heading for the Dam... |

| Close up of Mike's Wanderer | A slightly blurry Roger... | Vicki hard on the wind | And John not far behind.... |
And the panoramic shot; click on the thumbnail as before.... If your web browser re-scales the picture to fit on your computer screen, you can make it full scale (in Internet Explorer, click on the bottom right-hand corner of the picture; in Firefox, clicking anywhere on the picture should give you a + sign, and then clicking will give the larger picture. In both cases, once enlarged, you'll need to scroll horizontally to see the whole thing...
Many thanks to Stephen Muller for these photographs, taken of the Pursuit Race on the afternoon of 14th June.

| May look as if everybody's heading in different directions; in fact John Savage in the Solo is in the lead running back down the lake, whilst most of the rest of the fleet is still beating up the lake | Bob and Meg Higgs in the RS200 with the gennaker pulling, ahead of Derek Farnfield in the Streaker and Vicki in the Topper | Roger Ford and Val Shillito (the eventual winners) in the Wayfarer chasing down Emily Veal, going well in the Laser 4.7, with John Buckett in the heeling Otter beating up to West | Bosuns of John Chandler and Toby Tobias (who were locked together for much of the race) ahead of Roger Ford and Emily Veal |

| Real close quarter's stuff... | Close-up of Roger and Val in the Wayfarer | Thought this was so good a picture that put a version onto the website home page | And a close-up of Emily, just a few yards behind.... |

| John Duncalf urging his Topper forward... | A few moments later on; two Solos heading in different directions in the background | Close up of David Higgs, keeping the Laser flat going upwind | Three studies in concentration... |

| Roger on starboard tack heading towards the pontoon; note the water almost up to the spillway on the dam in the background - not bad for mid-June... | Paul Whybrow out in the latest addition to the growing Solo fleet | Jane Anderson chasing down the fleet in her Laser, after being last boat to start |
