My Dad sent me this, it's my Aunt and Uncle on their boat, the Barnestormer, heading to the race. I assume from Dad's comment "headed to victory" that they won, which is not uncommon. They have been racing for ...55 years? I have no interest in racing, I'm basically a hobbit on my boat, I used to take her out and just make tea and sit around waiting for wind to appear. World's Laziest Sailor. The fastest I'd move was to get out of other peoples' way, lol.
I could never be bothered to acquire a spinnaker, but they sure are pretty (the billowy sail out in front).

@hollie@social.coop We had a spinnaker with the boat before Elska! I think we put it up exactly _once_.
