Once the boats escaped from the grip of the tide close to the start they made good progress against a headwind, the tacking of the more adventurous skippers bringing the boats alarmingly close to offshore rocks. Not a brilliant picture, but included for atmosphere, of which there was an abundance! The boats are the smaller gleoiteog; the larger (bád mór) craft race on Sunday.
