With a light WNW wind of 8-10 mph, Dave L set the first mark as 4, then 2, 5, 9, 6, 7 and back through the start.

Pursuit Race

Nine starters today and the only positions recorded on the race sheet were those at the gun, which were -1^st Chris H (Comet); 2^nd Steve S (Solo); 3^rd Jon (Laser); 4^th Ellen & Newton (RS200); 5^th Sally & Mike C (Leader); 6^th Karen (Laser); 7^th Mike T (Laser); 8^th Adrian (Vago s/h); 9^th Nick M (Radial).   

Handicap Race

Everyone started the second race and first back through the line were Newton & Ellen about a minute ahead of Chris H with Mike T right on his transom. Karen, Jon and Steve S came through close together contesting 4^th place, then a minute passed before Mike C & Sally crossed in 7^th With Adrian and Nick M further back.

At the end of the second lap Newton & Ellen still led, but Mike T and Karen had passed Chris H to move up a place. Steve S had moved up two places by passing Jon and Chris. Mike C & Sally and Adrian maintained their places and Nick received the gun at the end of the lap.

The only change on the final lap was Chris H repassing Steve S, so the final order was –

1^st Newton & Ellen; 2^nd Mike T; 3^rd Karen; 4^th Chris H; 5^th Steve S; 6^th Jon; 7^th Mike C & Sally; 8^th Adrian; 9^th Nick M.

On corrected time this becomes 1^st Chris; 2^nd Mike T; 3^rd Newton & Ellen; 4^th Steve S; 5^th Karen; 6^th Mike C & Sally.
