By comparison with the frenetic activity of the SIRS regatta in the harbour today, life offshore was a deal calmer. Racing on the Manly Circle, the Rolex Trophy Rating Series fleet enjoyed two commodities that have been rare over recent weeks; sun and a northeaster.

Here are some of Crosbie Lorimer's images of today's racing.
