To be fair is doesn't show the boat off well - but I am assured it is a 12
Well done to all who launched - and to the two who finished in 40th and 41st place - What a race and congratulations.  There was a lot of swimming.  We were happy to be wrapped up warm on the bank!

Trying again, hopefully formatted better!

Looks like a Paradox to me so I would guess at 3484.

Definitely looks like John and Mari in 3484 to me.
Congrats to both them and Jeremy and Luke, for surviving.

Pip is convinced that it is Kevin and her in 3527.
Although I am starting to waver!

Having just found the sequence of photos (385-389) in the Sportography.com gallery for the event, it is clearly 3484.
Guess we just weren't out there long enough for any decent photos of Pip and me!

It is Fatso, 3484, trying hard to bear away after a waltz round the only gybe on the course, bit over done on the rudder maybe, but survived without a swim all day. Interesting shot, in that the spray is going forward not aft. The other shots in sequence show an intense focus on Mari's face as she tries to make me look like I know what I am doing. Great day out
