Whitsun Pennant – Monday 30 May 2016
A cold Bank Holiday Monday with quite a brisk North wind saw only six boats braving the conditions. Dave P set a course of 5s, 9s, 4p, 1s, Xs and back through the start.
This was a six lap race and the first lap pretty well determined the final placings. Steve S (Laser) came through the line in 1st place closely followed by Newton & Ellen (RS200) then there was a gap back to Hadey (4.7) who in turn was closely followed by Richard H (Laser) and Gareth (Laser) with Laser 61642 (helm unknown- but if you know who it was let Newton know).
There was no change for the next two laps but by the end of the fourth lap Newton & Ellen had taken the lead from Steve. On the fifth lap the only change was Gareth getting past Richard to move up to 4th place and these positions were maintained to the finish.
The final positions on the water and on handicap were –
1st Newton &Ellen; 2nd Steve S; 3rd Hadey; 4th Gareth; 5th Richard H and 6th Laser 61642.
Thanks to Dave P and the OOD team of Tracey, Sophie and Roland L.
