At the downwind mark it is again apparent how close the four lead boats are. Hansen and Crocker look to be sailing tied after rounding the mark. All four lead boats are within a boat length distance at the mark, two leaving it and two approaching it. Maynard looks to have about a half boat length lead on Moore going into the mark.

After the mark Hansen pulls slightly ahead of Crocker. In the same photo, Wilson is approaching the mark.
