The final race between John Dowler (11) and Ivan Fraser (84).
|
 |
 |
 |
At the start John tries to push Ivan
up the wrong side of the line
but Ivan slips through ahead.
|
Ivan keeps John trapped in bad air
on the first windward leg.
|
John eases ahead but can't tack.
|
 |
 |
 |
Ivan holds the inside line
|
and leads around the top mark
and away on the downwind.
|
John catches in the light airs
and takes the lead and inside
overlap halfway down the leg.
|
 |
 |
 |
Ivan retakes the lead and is first
around the downwind mark.
|
Halfway up the beat John takes the lead...
|
and eases ahead.
|
 |
 |
 |
Ivan manages to split tacks on a shift
and has starboard advantage at the cross.
John goes behind...
|
and gets an inside overlap at the top mark...
|
and can lead around.
|
 |
 |
 |
|
John is away on the downwind.
|
Ivan catches this time...
|
and threatens to get the inside line.
|
 |
 |
 |
But John holds the lead at
the final mark...
|
and up the last leg...
|
to take the win.
