With a SW wind of 8-10 mph Dave L set the first\nbeat to 4 then 9, 5, 6, 7 and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were 16 starters tonight, which was a bit\ndown on previous weeks, but a persistent light drizzle may have been the\nreason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simon B (Blaze) was first back across the line\nfollowed by Ellen (Laser), Newton (Solo) and Karen (Laser). Then along came the\nfirst double-hander, Dean & Mike C (Vago) in fifth place, just ahead of the\nLasers of Mark B, Mike Tr and Jeremy. \nThese were followed by the second double-hander, Sally & Stuart\n(Leader) about 30 seconds ahead of Mike A (Lightning). About 90 seconds later\nSam (Radial) crossed the line with Chris & Carol (420) a minute further\nback just ahead of Richard H (Laser + weed!) with Jemima (Oppie), Emily\n(Topper) and Phoebe (Oppie) behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the second lap, there was no change\nwith the three leaders, but Mike Tr had made up four places to move to 4th<\/sup>\nplace. Sally & Stuart had passed\nJeremy to move up to 8th<\/sup> and Richard H had gained two places to move\nto 11th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the third lap Simon still led Ellen and Newton, but\nthere was a god battle behind them, with Dean & Mike C now up to 4th<\/sup>\nand Karen and Mike Tr crossing the line together contesting 5th<\/sup>\nplace. Behind this group there were no other changes in the order. Sam, Chris\n& Carol, Jemima, Emily and Phoebe all received the gun at the end of the\nlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the last lap the only changes were Karen pulling\naway from Mike Tr to confirm 5th<\/sup> place and Mike A pipping Jeremy\nacross the line for 9th<\/sup> place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Simon B; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen; 3rd<\/sup>\nNewton; 4th<\/sup> Dean & Mike C; 5th<\/sup> Karen; 6th<\/sup>\nMike Tr<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this changes to \u2013 1st<\/sup> Simon B; 2nd<\/sup> Jemima; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Ellen; 5th<\/sup> Sally & Stuart; 6th<\/sup> Karen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Dave L SOOD and the OOD Team of Gordon P,\nPat G, Rich F and Will S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a SW wind of 8-10 mph Dave L set the first beat to 4 then 9, 5, 6, 7 and back through the start.
