With a light wind from\nthe South Jon set the first beat to X (not exactly sure where that was, but imagine somewhere\ntowards No 9) then 5, 7, 6, and back through the start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seven sprightly sailors\nset out, presumably they had managed to avoid the excesses of Christmas Day to\nmake the start line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first lap took\nover 30 minutes and first back through the line was Mike T (Laser) with Dean\n& Nick (Vago) nor far behind him. Nearly six minutes later Chris H (Comet)\ncame through followed a minute later by Nev in his Comet. Jules in her Mirror\nwas fifth across the line some four minutes ahead of Ron in his Mirror\n(obviously Ron had been getting stuck into the Christmas pud which slowed him\nconsiderably. Jules said that had not made the slightest difference!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second lap was\nconsiderable quicker and nearly everyone halved their first lap time. The order\nacross the line was exactly the same, but there appeared to be some doubt about\nthe time recorded for Chris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final order on\nthe water was \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1st<\/sup> Mike T; 2nd<\/sup> Dean & Nick; 3rd<\/sup> Nev or it might have been Chris; 4th Nev or it might have been Chris; 5th<\/sup> Jules;\n6th<\/sup> Ron<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time\nMike T takes the Cup, but Jules moves up to 2nd<\/sup> with Dean & Nick\nin 3rd<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Jon and the small OOD Team of David C and Brian; the rest of the team remained at home recovering, but well done to the three stalwarts who turned out. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a light wind from the South Jon set the first beat to X (not exactly sure where that was, but imagine somewhere towards No 9) then 5, 7, 6, and back through the start.
