Bill (K1) and Newton (Solo)\nwere next through in 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup> places followed by James\nin another Laser. About a minute later\nDave & Ann (Leader) came along ahead of Adrian (Laser) and Chris H (Comet) and\nSally & Mike C, the latter two boats crossing the line together. Dean &\nNick (Vago) were chasing them and bringing up the rear was Rick (Laser) and Ron\n(Mirror). <\/p>\n\n\n\n By\nthe end of the second lap Simon had doubled his lead and Ellen had passed Mark\nto move up to 2nd<\/sup> place and Jon had passed Alistair to move up to 4th<\/sup>\nplace. James and Adrian had both moved up one by passing Newton and Dave &\nAnn respectively. Further back Dean & Nick had gained two places and Rick\none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\nthe third lap the first four retained their positions, but James moved up three\nplaces to 5th<\/sup> and Adrian moved up one place to 9th<\/sup>. Sally\n& Mike C and Rick also gained a place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nfourth lap saw Jon passing Mark to move up to 3rd<\/sup> behind Simon and\nEllen. Bill gained three places to move to 5th<\/sup> and Richard regained\n6th<\/sup> place by getting past Alistair. Newton repassed Adrian to move\nback to 9th<\/sup> place, but there were no other movers in the right\ndirection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dave\n& Ann holding 11th<\/sup> place, Sally & Mike C, Rick, Dean &\nNick, Chris and Ron were all finished atr the end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At\nthe end of the last lap Simon finished in 1st<\/sup> place well ahead of\nEllen in 2nd<\/sup> place. Jon would have been 3rd<\/sup> but he missed\nout No 6, the penultimate mark, and handed 3rd<\/sup> place to Mark. Bill\njust got his bow in front of Richard S to take 4th<\/sup> place from him. The\nonly other change in position was Newton passing James to take 7th<\/sup>\nplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Final\npositions on the water were \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup>\nSimon; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> Mark; 4th<\/sup> Bill; 5th<\/sup>\nRichard S; 6th<\/sup> Alistair S<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\ncorrected time Simon and Ellen keep their 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup>\nplaces, but Newton moves up to 3rd<\/sup> pushing Mark down to 4th<\/sup>\nplace. Richard S keeps his 5th<\/sup> spot with guess who popping up to 6th<\/sup>\nplace? It\u2019s that man in the Mirror again, Ron the one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks\nto Dave P and the OOD Team of Dave I, Mark, Nick T and JC (sorry JC could not\nread your name on the race sheet, but thanks for turning out)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a wind from the South about 10- 13 mph, Dave P set the first mark as 1, then 2, 4, 9, 6, 7 and back through the start. 16 starters this morning and Simon (Blaze) was off to his usual fast first lap crossing the line already one minute ahead of Mark B, who was being chased by the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9D017-kp","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1265"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1266,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1265\/revisions\/1266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
