Last\nyear May Day was hot and sunny, but this morning there was a cold bite to the\nwind, which was WNW varying from 8 to 10 mph. Paul R was on duty for the second\nday in a row, he used a Tektona start with a first mark of A (out near the buoy\nline) then B (just West of 2), 9, 5, 2, 1 and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\nwere 10 starters including John and Linda\u2019s Wayfarer and Rich Fisher\u2019s Wanderer\n(good to see some different craft on the water).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first lap Ralph (Laser) came through in 3rd<\/sup>\nplace with Alistair S (Laser) about 30 seconds back in 4th<\/sup>, closely\nfollowed by Adrian (Vago s\/h) in 5th<\/sup> place. Then it was nearly two minutes before Nev\n(Comet) and John & Linda (Wayfarer) crossed the line together some way\nahead of Mike A (Radial) with Rich (Wanderer) another 30 seconds further back.\nFinally came the two Mirrors of Ron and Dave P, who enjoyed a good battle all\nthe way through the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ralph\nretired on the second lap and Adrian got past Alistair to move up to 3rd<\/sup>\nand this was the only change in position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\nthe third and fourth laps there were not any changes in position and Ron and\nDave received the gun at the end of the fourth. The fifth lap was similar with\nno change in the order and the final positions on the water were \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup>\nSimon; 2nd<\/sup> Julian ; 3rd<\/sup> Adrian; 4th<\/sup> Alistair;\n5th<\/sup> Nev; 6th<\/sup> John & Linda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\ncorrected time the order becomes \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Simon; 2nd<\/sup> Julian B; 3rd<\/sup> Nev; 4th<\/sup> Ron; 5th<\/sup> Alistair; 6th<\/sup> Dave P<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulations to Simon on winning the Pennant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks\nto Paul and the OOD Team of Bill C, Chris A, Ian S and Marion T <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last year May Day was hot and sunny, but this morning there was a cold bite to the wind, which was WNW varying from 8 to 10 mph.
