Easter Cup 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nEaster Cup races took place in beautiful sunshine on Good Friday and Easter\nMonday with 27 competitors racing in two races on each day. It was good to see\na great turn out of our younger sailors with Bea, Ed, Jemima and Phoebe in\nOppies, Emily and Shiloh in Toppers and Milo and Rhys in Radials. It was also\nnice to see a Wayfarer on the water in the hands of John and Linda, not to\nforget the re appearance of our own pink lady Monica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul\nR (Aero) and Karen (Laser) kept the first two positions throughout the race,\nNewton (Solo) was 3rd<\/sup> on the first lap but displaced by Ralph (Laser)\nfor the remaining two laps. Mike N took his new Leader out and had a steady\nrace in 6th<\/sup> pushing the two Lasers of Mike T and James just ahead of\nhim. There was some close racing throughout the fleet and Chris H (Comet), Adrian\n(Rooster), Richard S (Laser) and Sally & Stuart (Leader) were enjoying\nthemselves in the middle of the fleet with Milo and Rhys in Radials just behind\nthem having a great battle. Ron (Mirror) had a lonely race just off the back of\nthis group, but clear of the young sailors at the back, Ed, Jemima, Phoebe and\nBea in Oppies and Emily and Shiloh in Toppers who were also enjoying their own\nrace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe second race Paul got away again and led from start to finish. Mike T held 2nd<\/sup>\nplace for the first two laps, but then Karen came past him on the third lap.\nBehind them James, Newton and Ralph enjoyed a good scrap as did Milo and Rhys\nagain. In the first race Rhys had come out on top, but Milo just pipped him in\nthis one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further back Ron\n(Mirror) and Sam (Laser) were having a close race in front of Jemima and Ed\n(Oppies), who were at it again, with Emily (Topper) and Phoebe and Bea in two\nmore Oppies following.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
