Reaching off after the top mark under #3 jib and full main. We are flying the protest flag after the race committee failed to set a mark of the course. Later we withdrew the protest, not because it was invalid but because it was pointless: we'd already won the regatta and all it would do is cause the race to be thrown out.

The jib looks good in this shot but it was held together with packing tape. It was shedding tape all day. Lucky we didn't get a littering ticket. Time for some new sails I guess.
