<\/div>\n
The wind tonight was a bit perverse (so what’s new!, it started off as a light SW wind 6-7 mph and during the race turned completely round to come from the NE. Peter R set the first “beat” to 5 then 9s, 4s, 6s, 7s and back through the start. This had the unintended effect of a beat to 5 and then a beat back to 6!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There were 24 starters including four Toppers, two 4.7s and an Oppie all manned by enthusiastic juniors!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As the wind was very light and seemed to be dropping Peter wisely opted for a one lap race and first across the line was Newton (Solo) followed by Mike T (Laser) and Monica (Europe). Mike A (Lightning) came in 4th<\/sup> with Chris A (Solo) 5th<\/sup> and Mike N & William (his grandson) 6th<\/sup> in their Leader.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This may well have been William’s first race, so I hope that he enjoyed it.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well done to Bea who resolutely battled on to finish in her Oppie despite the wind dropping..<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There were a number of class battles and the positions in the class are listed below:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Topper \u2013 1 Edward; 2 Ben; 3 Jemima; 4 Rhys<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Leaders -1 Mike & William; 2 Hugh & Hadey; 3 Dave & Ann<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lasers \u2013 1 Mike T; 2 John H; 3 Paul H<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Solos \u2013 1 Newton; 2 Chris A: 3 Julian W<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Comet – 1 Tracey; 2 Nev<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4.7 \u2013 1 Joe; 2 William<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On handicap it is likely that Edward will take 1st<\/sup> position pushing Newton down to 2nd<\/sup> with Ben moving up to 3rd<\/sup>, Monica 4th<\/sup>, Mike T 5th<\/sup> and Mike A 6th<\/sup>. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Peter R and the OOD Team of Dave H, Roland L and Sally.<\/span><\/div>\n
