Summer Series 2 – 3rd June 2018

Another hot sunny day for the second Sunday in a row, but guess what – very little wind again. The forecast was for 3- 4 mph from the NNE and if you got that you were lucky! Mark B set a short course with 4 as the first mark, then 2, X and back through the start.

Pursuit Race
Only 5 starters this morning, the rest were in the garden sipping aperitifs. At the end of the lap Chris H had caught the Mirrors of Ron and Jules and was in the lead with Ron still 2nd and Karen up to 3rd.
At the gun Chris was still leading with Karen now up to 2nd place, Ron 3rd, John W 4th and Jules 5th.

Handicap Race
All five started the second race and at the end of the first lap Karen led followed by Chris then John W and these three were already some eight minutes ahead of Ron and Jules.
These positions did not change throughout the race, but the gaps between them widened. Ron and Jules received the gun at the end of the second lap, but the other three were sent round for one more.
The final positions were –
1st Karen(Laser); 2nd Chris H (Comet); 3rd John W (Laser); 4th Ron (Mirror); 5th Jules (Mirror)

These positions did not change when the RYA handicap was applied.

Thanks to Mark B and the OOD Team of Bill C, Ian S, Patrick C and Will S.,
