Thats Pinta,a Shearwater 39 schooner on the inside,with She a Buchanen sloop on the outside.
Note,the boat can not be seen but the mast of Lyn and Larry Pardys yacht, Talasin is sandwiched in between,you can see the mast and the Canadian flag.
Note,as with hand held flares its important to know that orange smoke flares should be released down wind!
Have you ever seen what they look like,live and in the water? we have to buy new ones each three years by law,I have just re placed my own set,so I know whats involved cost wise but should an emergency happen,the cost will be long forgotten! The TBA had a regatta at Unity ,Grainger Bay,the facility gave us a full on demonstration of pyrotechnics plus an in the swim pool demo of what a life raft is all about,they train profesionals to use the equipment,we were really fortunate to be hosted by them.
