The After Party!
So in Lets Have A Party, we looked at the first of our shots of the J24s. Now then. What do you do when you have finished partying at one location? Head to the After Party, of course. OK. Here we are. Have a blast... All pics © Steb Fisher.
Shepherded the bigger cousins away.
That looks all very pleasant...
Oh. Time for work again. Yet another classic 'Steb', too.
Girl power on this boat.
Good shot.
Better shot - More of a pronounced 'Steb'.
Just had to be the hero pic - what a 'Steb'! - and the shoes got wet...
Off you go. Mark's approaching.
More wet shoes. Like the checking of the brace - bonus points there.
The tables say they were!
Why so serious? (You can get your fix HERE - I just did.) Winners should be grinners.
See. Your mate can offer us a glimmer of teeth.
OK. Back to the action.
Well that all looks good. Case for a boom topper, but picky, picky, picky...
On your marks. Get Set! Go.
Yes. Checking over the side to make sure you spot the good 'Steb's is important. Here it is from the another vantage point, so you don't miss it.
Nice shimmer on the hull.
Glorious sailing conditions.
They would have been the first there a lot... (was almost the hero pic)
So was this!
This one definitely made me consider it. Maybe I will make a late change and put this one in. Not a bad feat when you consider how little room there is up there...
He should buy this one or the one above from you Steb.
More winning form.
Out in front and you get the glassware! Well done.
I suppose it really isn't that far up to full hoist for a fractional kite on what a 28foot mast?
Clearly he succeeded, so time to get that brace on.
Eyes on the job at hand. Bonus points.
No Bowman, Midbow and Mastman demarcations here. Do it all yourself.
Hhhhmmmm - Little bit of gathered line in the hands there - hope that doesn't come back to bite you!
Nope. OK. Like to see that trick done in 20 knots though...
Matching numbers. Somebody should have told them about the confusion game the other boats were playing...
Time to do it all again. Nice scalloped edge on the luff. Ugly is fast, right? Just ask Adam.
Go on. get into it!
Good close action.
Good close action. Oh. I just used that line above. Invoice me.
WooHoo. Nice 'Steb'.
That's what I'm talking about and pre-feeding the brace. Nice - Go Team!
Magic. You have to buy this shot and the proceeding one, pal.
Off you go. See you in a while.
All right. See you in the next frame even.
Going above to take their wind or put yourself between them and the mark???
Get the kite up. You need the pace.
All girl power aboard Hyperactive.
I cannot say ugly is fast, because the women will take offense, but look at that luff.
Did you wash yours in something?
Who's trimming?
Ramming speed! Don't worry. I know there's plenty of room. Just wanted to say it - that's all.
All right. Have another go.
Closer than expected by all, I think...
More volleys! Another sale I think Steb.
And another.
Pole end down a little - when you are ready.
Great stuff, Action Man.
Action Man II.
Now it's Action Woman's turn.
Some of the party skirts along the side of the Colts.
Hey. Let's all go in this direction. The race is on!
Just teriffic. Wish I had been there.
All on the same gybe even.
Did they duck or tack?
Navigators would be happy.
Team Pink tries something different
A still little morning.
I just love to finish on a start, so....
Bill Collins.
Back with the herding cats issue, I fear...
There'll be something else soon - no doubt.
