The second race start was upwind. It was another very clean start. Just over a boat length separate the first three or four boats for much of the first upwind leg. In the one of last few photos five boats are seen sailing the same tack with not much distance between the leaders. Hanson and Crocker were leading with less than a boat length between the two with Moore close behind. McGovern and Wilson were close enough behind to be on the same tack in the some of the same photos with the leaders.

Unfortunately the shutter speed got bumped from 250 to 125 so about a dozen photos were overexposed. The result is the color is somewhat distorted. The sky was not purple. The first two photos on this page have normal sky. The first photo on the next page has the purple sky and that is where the error was corrected. Its a good idea to check the light meter now and then.
