There was quite a frisky wind tonight about 12 mph from NNE. Chris H set the first beat to X (in the middle of the lake level with the normal start flagpole) then 5p, 8s, 9s, 3p, 2p and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There were 14 starters including Jemima and Edward in Oppies and Joe in his Topper.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First back through the start line was Mark (Laser) followed by Karen (Laser), Jon (Laser) then Newton in his Solo. Sally & Stuart (Leader) were going well in 5th<\/sup> place with Ralph (Radial) 6th<\/sup> and Dean & Nick 7th<\/sup> in the Vago, closely followed by Mike A (Lightning) and Chris A (Solo). Then there was a gap back to Dave & Ann (Leader) with another gap back to Joe (Topper) who was just ahead of Chris & Carol (Sport 14) with Edward and Jemima close together at the back of the fleet.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap there was no change in the first four, but Ralph had passed Sally & Stuart to move up to 5th<\/sup> and Mike had passed Dean & Nick to move to 7th<\/sup>. Chris & Carol had gained a place by getting past Joe, and Jemima was just ahead of Edward as they crossed the line together.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the third lap Jon and Newton both got past Karen to move up to 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup>, but there were no other changes in position apart from Edward who had pulled slightly ahead of Jemima and they received the finish gun along with Joe and Chris & Carol at the end of the lap. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The fourth lap was the last and Jon just managed to cross the line ahead of Mark to take the victory. Karen repassed Newton to take 3rd<\/sup> spot and Dean & Nick had repassed Mike.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The final placings on the water were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Jon; 2nd<\/sup> Mark; 3rd<\/sup> Karen; 4th<\/sup> Newton; 5th<\/sup> Ralph; 6th<\/sup> Sally & Stuart.  <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On handicap Newton will move to 2nd<\/sup> and Sally & Stuart leapfrog Ralph to 5th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Edward will win the battle of the juniors.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Chris and the OOD Team of Bob, Roland and Rick.<\/span><\/div>\n
