Sitting idly on the balcony this afternoon, I was treated to a spectacular view of the 18 foot skiffs doing their thing. The leeward mark was placed just off Shell Cove, so I could watch the entire approach, gybe, drop, and capsize manoeuvre. The key to winning races seems to be a high guts/brain ratio, and a flawless capsize recovery technique.

These pictures were taken with my cheap little digital camera through the honking great 15x70s. The action was taking place about 2kms away.

Still upright.

Seconds from a swim.

Next weekend, we may potter over to Rose Bay and watch them from a slightly closer range.
