I was about to say! wow a Solo Tornado sailor!!!
I just had to do it!!

Hello,

...the 'bent' tiller is always a dead givaway something is amiss!

...notice how there is a little 'slack' beginning to show in the solo crews' trap line........


Bruce

I can't quite figure it out. I don't see the skippers trap wire in the pic. I do see the leeward skippers trap wire. I'm assuming that the wire let go from the top and the skipper went splash as he broke his tiller. He didn't even have time to uncleat.

And talk about "closing the door" at the mark...

there is loads of wire wrapped around the windward rudder. My guess is either the wire mor the shackle snapped

Bruce,

I see no 'real' solo sailors. I assume you mean the Tornado above.

Have you got your kite kit sorted yet ?

Just had my boat cleaned up and it's looking like new. Wanna see a piccy or 2 ?

Scooby,

..keep looking,...other than the one above ....can you find it?
....plus the solo skipper appears to bbe in 100% control..

...send me your pics scooby via my private line..

Looks like a fair mix of boats, shame that Stuart Gummers Spitfire has been smashed up (dunno how)

Brother Bruce, Thanks! We had our first freeze of the Winter last night. It sure was nice to look at the pics, and the video was fantastic! Wish I could be there! Keep it coming...
