Bright sun and 10 mph wind from the South promised a pleasant relaxed sail. Chris H set the first beat to X (just off Tektona), 1s, 4s, 9p, 6s and back through the start. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There were 22 starters and first back though the line was Karen (Laser) followed half a minute later by Hugh (Laser) then Newton (Solo) with Julian W, in another Solo not far behind him. Then there was a slight gap back to Ralph (Laser) in 5th<\/sup> place and then Monica and Amy both in Europes came through together just ahead of Sylvia & Peter (RS200) who were in 8th<\/sup> place with Jeremy (Laser) going well in 9th<\/sup> place. .<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap the first three were unchanged, but there was a lot of passing going on behind these three. Sylvia & Peter had moved up to 4th<\/sup>, Paul H (Laser) had gained ten places to move up to 8th<\/sup> and Mike T (Laser) had moved up four places to 9th<\/sup>. Other movers were Dean & Nick (Vago) who had moved up one place to 10th<\/sup> followed by Chris A (Solo) who was up five places to 11th<\/sup> just ahead of Curtis (Radial) who had dropped two places down to 12th<\/sup>. Further back in the fleet Bob Lovell (Solo) gained two places to 13th<\/sup> and was now just behind Ed & Crew (Feva) who were in a steady 14th<\/sup> place.  <\/span>Dave & Ann (Leader) and Mike C (Wanderer) gained two places to move to 15th <\/sup>and 16th <\/sup>respectively. Tracey (Comet) and William (Feva) had both gained a place and Cecilia was gamely bringing up the rear in a 4.7. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Monica, William and Cecilia retired at the end of this lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The third lap was the last and Karen crossed the line well clear of Hugh with Newton further back in 3rd<\/sup> place. Ralph had regained the two places he lost the previous lap to move back to 5th<\/sup>. A number of other boats gained places due to the retirements, but Jeremy having slipped back on the second lap regained four places.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Hugh; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Sylvia & Peter; 5th<\/sup> Ralph; 6th<\/sup> Julian W<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On handicap Karen should retain first spot, but it is likely that Ed & Crew (Feva) will move up to second with Newton and Julian W third and fourth in their Solos pushing Hugh and Ralph down to fifth and sixth. <\/sup><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
