Start race three. Me trimming the jib. There are no winches on 'Heart' Desire' There are three other people pulling on the same rope behind me!
 
 
Windrose, Ranger and Velsheda.
 
'Leander', chartered a few weeks ago by Charles and Camilla turns awful close to the rocks. She is one of the spectator ships.
 
The king, 'Velsheda'
 
Hold your course Glen, don't go up for the mark just yet!!
 
The young pretender 'Ranger'
 
 
 
'Jaldevi' is passed to windward by a much older and smaller boat, us, with Nick's tweaks pulling us to weather. 
 
Startline race 3.
 
The beautiful new 12 metre ' Kate', a faithful reproduction of a boat built about 1889. Designed by Alfred Mylne of Glasgow.
