4 F16's in the open class fleet

F16's took 1st, 2nd, 4th and 7th overall. On boats the listing is 1st Taipan F16, 2nd Blade F16, 4th Taipan F16 solo, 7th Blade F16. The all girls team of Jennifer Lindsay and Kelly Gray snatch first place from Matt and Gina McDonald. With 12 and 15 points respectively they were 17 points ahead of number 3 with 32 points. It must be said that all the big shots on the I-20's weren't at this race, neither were any F18's. Somehwat strange as this race is part of the Harken Bouy race series.

Of course Roy Laughlin was there with his camera and performed his customary trick again. I have yet to see him make bad photo's and I don't think he ever will. Anyone can order full size high resolution pics from Roy if they so desire. More details on his webpage www.floridamultihullsailor.com

This time Roy made some really good pics of F16 crews hanging in action. And alot of them, almost 30 pictures !

A few picture will follow now; more can be seen on www.floridamultihullsailor.com. Take a look !
