| Sunshine in the car park, even in March... | Last sight of an ever-present dinghy at the club:
a sad moment as Neil shows prospective buyers round John's Wayfarer
|
Now, which way will we send them today... | The race hut with the bright new club sign; Vicki bends on the flags in the background |
 |

 |
| Lots of Lasers preparing on the grass - with one interloper - Roger's Streaker | Looking to be a good turnout for so early in the season... | Looks impressive for any onlookers gazing down from the car park | Katie and Emily remembering what goes where.... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Making the customary obeisance to your craft before the start... | Jane pulling all the strings... | Vicki and Jane in some close-quarters sailing | Three Lasers making upwind from the start |
 |

| It might look deceptively calm in the lee of the hillside, but further out, it's windy enough to cause capsizes.... | And to finish, a fine shot of almost the entire fleet heading back down from the top of the lake... |
More photos - taken on Easter Day
Many thanks to Ray Lovejoy for these photos, taken on a blustery day when sailing wasn't that easy. Some good shots of boats on the plane, and high speed cornering at Dam Green....

| Paul Whybrow accelerates away from the turn Dam Red at the start of the afternoon race, with Nicky in second | The bulk of the fleet rounding Dam Red, with Stuart going well | The fleet heading for West | Enough in the gusts to heel some of the boats... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Vicki keeping well to windward | Simon showing some speed... | Rounding West White | Bob to leeward, Paul and Nicky in close company tight under the bank |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Dinghies going all ways | Mary and Simon race for the buoy... | And Mary just squeezes round ahead.. | Stuart bearing away and heading up the lake |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Vicki and John running downwind | Paul heads for home | Nicky close hauled | Mary under a Mediterranean-blue sky |
And yet more photos, from November

| Clustering at the start - Jane Anderson at pin end | And a few seconds later | Vicki, Mary, Steve and Paul Anderson almost in line | Jane Anderson still holding the inside line, with Steve and Paul coming across |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| But Jane just gets there first... | And Paul round in second | And here comes the pack.... | Boats having to get really close to the boom in order to make Dam Green on the next tack |
 |
 |
 |
|
| And the Otter bringing up the rear | And the fleet goes away down wind | But by the afternoon race, the wind had disappeared.... to give a perfect reflection |
