With a SW wind of about 9-10 mph, Steve S set the\nfirst mark as 4 then A (roughly near 2 but further in to miss the lee of the trees)\nthen 5, 8, 6, 7 and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were 25 starters and Ellen (Laser) was first\nback through the start line followed closely by the Lasers of Mark B, Karen and\nMike Tr. About a minute later Newton (Solo) crossed the line in 5th<\/sup> place\nleading the gaggle of Jeremy, Curtis and Joe in Lasers, then Dave & Ann\n(Leader), Chris H (Comet), Ralph (Laser) Mike C & Sam (Wanderer), Sally\n& Stuart (Leader). Finally Steve had chance to draw breath for a minute before\nRick (Laser) came along in company with Dean & Nick (Vago), Chris A (Solo),\nMike T (Laser), Paul H (Laser), Adrian (Vago s\/h), Ron (Mirror), Emily (Topper),\nNigel (Laser) and Jemima (Oppie) with Chris & Carol (420) bringing up the\nrear. This lot were virtually line astern and we can thank our lucky stars that\nsomeone else (namely Steve and his team) was having to log them across the line!\n Mike A (Lightning) did not make it across\nthe line as his mainsheet came adrift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ellen still led at the end of the second lap with\nKaren overtaking Mark and Mike Tr to move up to 2nd<\/sup> place. The next\nfour maintained station, but Ralph moved up two places to 9th<\/sup> and\nRick passed Sally & Stuart to move to 13th<\/sup>. Paul H gained two places\nby passing Chris A and Mike T and further back Nigel also gained two places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the third lap Mark B took the lead with Karen\nstill in 2nd and Ellen slipping to 3rd<\/sup> place. Mike Tr, Newton and\nJeremy held their places, but Ralph moved up two to 7th <\/sup>by passing\nCurtis and Joe. Rick had a good lap moving up three places to 10th<\/sup>\nand Dean & Nick made up four to move to 11th<\/sup>. Paul H and Adrian\nboth gained a place. Jemima and Chris & Carol received the finish gun at\nthe end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the fourth and last lap there was no\nchange in the first six, but Joe had regained two places to finish in 7th<\/sup>\nplace. Mike C & Sam pipped Dave & Ann to take the double handed honours\nand Chris H got past Dave & Ann. Mike T made up two places by passing\nAdrian and Nigel. Poor Chris A having sailed all four laps found himself\ndisqualified for sailing the wrong course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Mark B; 2nd<\/sup> Karen; 3rd<\/sup>\nEllen; 4th<\/sup> Mike Tr; 5th<\/sup> Newton; 6th<\/sup> Jeremy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the order should be \u2013 1st<\/sup> Mark; 2nd<\/sup> Newton; 3rd<\/sup>\nKaren; 4th<\/sup> Ellen; 5th<\/sup> Mike Tr; 6th<\/sup> Mike C\n& Sam<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Steve S and the OOD team of Ferdinando,\nHugh, John H and Rich F. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a SW wind of about 9-10 mph, Steve S set the first mark as 4 then A (roughly near 2 but further in to miss the lee of the trees) then 5, 8, 6, 7 and back through the start.
