It\nwas very different to last Sunday with a light ENE wind from 0 to 3 mph. James\nused a Tektona start with a first beat to X, then 4, 9, 1 and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\nwere 10 starters and Newton (Solo) got away well and led by over two minutes by\nthe end of the first lap. Chris H (Comet), Mike T (Laser), Dean & Nick\n(Vago) and Nev & Mike N (Leader) all came through very close together with\nRalph Laser) about a minute behind them. \nAnother minute elapsed before Alistair S Laser) crossed the line in 7th<\/sup>\nplace and he was 30 seconds ahead of Sally & Mike C in the second Leader.\nAbout three minutes later Ron (Mirror) came through and he was well ahead of\nEmily in her Mirror (the only young sailor out today).<\/p>\n\n\n\n At\nthe end of the second lap Newton was still leading, but Mike T had got past\nChris and had made up some ground, well water actually! Nev & Mike N were\nnow 4th<\/sup> just in front of Dean & Nick with Ralph steady in 6th<\/sup>\nplace. Sally & Mike C had eased past Alistair to gain one place and Ron and\nEmily were bringing up the rear of the fleet. Emily received the finish gun at\nthe end of the lap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nonly change in position on the last lap was Ralph moving up to 5th<\/sup>\nby passing Dean & Nick, although at the front Mike had got considerably\ncloser to Newton but could not quite catch him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order was \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Newton; 2nd<\/sup> Mike T; 3rd<\/sup> Chris H; 4th<\/sup> Nev & Mike N; 5th<\/sup> Ralph; 6th<\/sup> Dean & Nick<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time Chris moves up to take 1st<\/sup> place with Newton down to 2nd<\/sup> and Nev & Mike up to 3rd<\/sup>. Mike\nT goes down to 4th<\/sup> with Ron up to 5th<\/sup> and Ralph 6th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to James and the OOD Team of Bea and Will P and John H. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was very different to last Sunday with a light ENE wind from 0 to 3 mph.
