  • Victoria Inner Harbour filling up with race boats.  They really packed them in, it was awesome.
  • My Ride: Mata Hari, probably the best equipped Catalina 36 Mk2 ever made.
  • Boats were really packed in.
  • Skipper's meeting.  Those are all of the trophies laid out in front.
  • HMCS Oriole, a very pretty boat in the event
  • Leaving harbor en masse for the start.  This was around 7:45am.
  • Pre-race at the start line
  • Paul talking start strategy
  • Pre-start.  That huge navy boat was our committee boat.
  • Pre-start
  • Night Runner.  This was designed by Bob Perry and is discussed in his book, it was great to see it in person.
  • Start Pic.  This was shot by Jan Anderson (janpix.smugmug.com), not me.
  • Just after the start.
  • Looking back just after the start.  We had an amazing start (second across the line) and it was fun looking back and seeing the whole fleet.
  • Early upwind beat.  Light/Moderate winds (around 10 knots if I remember correctly), comfortable ride, good competition.
  • Soon after the start.
  • Peregrine was one of our main competition.  We traded tacks with them often early in the race.
  • Seconds after the last photo when a B36.7 tacked over between us.
  • Another shot of Peregrine
  • Video of Peregrine
