Replacement Photographer - My thanks go to Alan Holloway "4" for
taking over the camera when I unexpectantly make it into the Gold Fleet.
Alan does a great job at getting Townsical into the photos. (Townsical usually misses
being photographed since I am on the other side of the lens).

Congratulations and Thank You to Brett May for putting on a great regatta
and of course taking out the win as well.
And Thanks to all his helpers - starters, umpires, ladies and record keepers
Special thanks go to Des Townson for doing his usually dependably great job
of sorting out all the frequencies, and isn't it fantastic that he can still
compete well with boat No 1, showing the terrific factor of one design yachting.
Also thanks to Judy Terrill for doing a great support effort
and "standing by her man".
