Downwind at the Bristol Cup Regatta

Two J/24s and a J/22 sail a spinnaker reach during Sunday's first race. The race started at 11:08 AM Sunday, October 26, 2008, sailing a 2.1-mile nominal 6G course to marks 6 (25B) and 2 (17). Winds, though light, were far better than Saturday's puny pufflets; this race was sailed in 4 to 6 mph breezes (BN Force 2)




J/24s with red-trimmed chutes approach the halfway mark downwind.


The J/24 Hot Flash passes the pin buoy halfway down the run leg of Sunday's first race.
