The\nwind was considerably lighter (about 2 \u2013 8 mph from the NW) than yesterday,\nwhen the new trainees had to put up with a brisk cold wind. Paul R set the\nfirst mark as A (red flag) then 4, 1, 5, 9, 2 and back through the start<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There\nwere 15 starters and it was good to see Issy making a return to the water. First\nman away Ron (Mirror) managed to hold on to the lead right to the end of the allotted\ntime. Chris H (Comet) who was second away was still 2nd<\/sup> at the end\nof the first lap but was caught by Simon B (Blaze) and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nfinal order was \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup>\nRon (Mirror); 2nd<\/sup> Simon (Blaze); 3rd<\/sup> Mike T (laser0; 4th<\/sup>\nRichard S (laser0; 5TH<\/sup> Julian B (D-Zero); 6th<\/sup> Chris H (Comet)\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nwind turned more to the West for the second race, so Paul tweaked the course to\nA, 4, 2, 9, 5, but finished the race at 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Julian\n(D-Zero) was first back through the line chased by Simon in his Blaze. It was\nover two minutes before the next man crossed the line, Richard S (Laser) and he\nwas followed by a close bunch with Chris H (Comet) leading Jon (Laser), Rick (Laser),\nAdrian (Rooster), Mike T (Laser) and Mike & Issy (Leader). A minute later Bill\n(K1) and Jeremy (Laser) crossed the line battling for 10th<\/sup> spot.\nThen there was a slight gap back to Chris A (Solo) and Dave & Ann (Leader)\nwith Ron (Mirror) and Rhys (4.7) bringing up the rear of the fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Only\none more lap and Simon managed to catch and pass Julian to finish in 1st<\/sup>\nplace with Richard S still secure in 3rd<\/sup>. Mike T and Mike & Issy\ngained four places to move up to 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup>\nrespectively. Bill retired so everyone behind him moved up a place, but Dave\n& Ann gained another place by passing Chris A and Ron and Rhys continued\ntheir battle at the back of the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nfinal order on the water was \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup>\nSimon; 2nd<\/sup> Julian; 3rd<\/sup> Richard S, 4th<\/sup> Mike T; 5th<\/sup>\nMike & Issy; 6th<\/sup> Chris H<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\ncorrected time this should change to \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup>\nSimon; 2nd<\/sup> Chris H; 3rd<\/sup> Ron; 4th<\/sup> Richard S; 5th<\/sup>\nJulian; 6th<\/sup> Mike & Issy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks\nto Paul and the OOD Team of Nick, Philip M and Robbie H.\n\n\n\n\n\nffffffff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The wind was considerably lighter (about 2 \u2013 8 mph from the NW) than yesterday, when the new trainees had to put up with a brisk cold wind.
