Shots of Rawhiti coming into round Bastion Buoy leading the fleet. A grey day with passing showers and gusting winds. Here she is all powered up easing to get down round the mark. Forst on line but the erst of the fleet was not far behind so she had to settle for 4th on handicap.

I adore the classic cut of her sails...

Congratulations to both the owner and captain, but I take my hat off to the sailmaker, as a gaff rig man I can honestly say those are some of the best sails I have seen on a gaff rigged boat….BRAVO !

Drop the topsail and reef the main for the conditions.
All that heeling over is not helping your boat speed.
Your topsail is luffing and driving you over.
It's not helping anything but looks nice in the pictures.

Zu viel Kränkung, die habens nicht drauf. Rechtzeitig reffen wäre besser
