18th June Summer series 4
Summer 4 18th June
It was very hot and sunny this morning, but not a lot of wind, at best 3mph from the South. Mark wisely set a short course of Xp, 9p, 6s and back through the start.
Pursuit Race
There were only 7 starters, perhaps a combination of Father’s day and no wind!
There was just time for one lap and a bit before the gun finished the race. The positions at the gune were –
1st Richard S – Laser; 2nd Karen – Laser; 3rd Chris H- Comet; 4th Adrian – Rooster; 5th Hadey – Radial; 6th William P – Feva; 7th James P – Feva (but may have been Rhys at the helm as the Fevas were getting some practice in for the Thames Valley Challenge on Saturday 25th June)
Handicap Race
Mark shortened the course even further for the second race by substituting 8 for 9, even so it was only a two lap and the order remained exactly the same for both laps. So the final positions on the water were –
1st Karen; 2nd Adrian; 3rd Richard S; 4th Hadey; 5th Chris H; 6th William; 7th Rhys & James.
On Handicap Karen should keep 1st place, but Chris should move up to 2nd with Richard 3rd.
William should move up to 4th Pushing Hadey down to 5th with Adrian 6th and Rhys & James 7th
Thanks to Mark and the OOD Team (their names were not down on the race sheet, but should have been Chris B, Mike C, Issy, Tom L and Paula)
Another plea to two-man boat helms please put the names of your crew down on the Declaration Sheet – thank you
