There was a light fickle wind this morning which kept dropping and rising (mostly dropping!).<\/span><\/div>\n
Peter R set the first beat down to 4, then 9, 2, 5, 7 and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Pursuit<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
There were 21 starters and the wind was sufficient for most of the early starters to be caught before the gun.<\/span><\/div>\n
The leading positions at the gun were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Jon \u2013 Laser; 2nd<\/sup> Newton & Ellen \u2013RS200; 3rd<\/sup> Peter S \u2013 Byte CII; 4th<\/sup> Hugh \u2013 Laser; <\/span><\/div>\n
5th<\/sup> Karen \u2013 Laser; 6th<\/sup>James \u2013 Laser.<\/span><\/div>\n
In the Classes, Adrian won the battle of the Vagos finishing 8th<\/sup> with Dean & Nick in 11th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
In the Solos Julian W was 12th<\/sup> with Chris A 15th<\/sup> and in the Radials Curtis was 16th<\/sup> with Sylvia 17th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
In the 4.7s Hadey was 18th<\/sup> and William was 20th<\/sup>. It was good to see Rhys out again in his Topper.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Handicap<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
There were six absentees for the second race of the day, which may have been a wise move as it took most of the fleet nearly one hour to do one lap!<\/span><\/div>\n
Karen and James got away well and finished 14 minutes ahead of 3rd<\/sup> placed Jon, who in turn finished some 8 minutes ahead of 4th<\/sup> placed Peter S.  After that it got very close with only one minute separating Chris A in 5th<\/sup> place and Rhys in 15th<\/sup> place. It must have been quite a task for the OOD Team recording the positions across the line !<\/span><\/div>\n
The positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Karen \u2013 Laser; 2nd<\/sup> James \u2013 Laser; 3rd<\/sup> Jon \u2013 Laser; 4th<\/sup> Peter S \u2013 Byte CII; 5th<\/sup> Chris A \u2013 Solo; <\/span><\/div>\n
6th<\/sup> Hadey \u2013 4.7<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap Karen and James will keep their positions, but Rhys moves right up to 3rd<\/sup> with Jon 4th<\/sup> and Hadey and William moving up to 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup>. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Peter R and the OOD Team of Jerome C, Miranda M, David M and Ken P.<\/span><\/div>\n
