505 sail number K-5380; I would guess Lintie sailed by Ian Pole? On his weather side there is a Merlin Rocket with sail number ending 77 that will be John Skea sailing Veni Vedi Vici as there were only two Merlins with sail numbers ending "77". I had Leviathon which was 2777 and John had VVV which was 2077. AL 2006 is Dan Grieve in Mizpah. AL 5896 Looks as though it's Davie Cusiter from Stromness in my old Albacore, Moonshadow. Sail number 100 is the Kirkwall Sea Cadets in one of the Bosuns, Snipe with yellow mainsail is Sinclair Muir in Firewood. Looks like Freddie Johnston in Fleetwing (H8)to the weather side of Firewood. The Albacore that's causing the mayhem - could it be Donald Glue in Samara?
