Quite a brisk West wind this morning blowing about\n15 mph and Karen set the first beat as 5, then 8, 4, 1, 3, 2, 6, B and back\nthrough the start (she couldn\u2019t find 7 and A in the box!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were 11 starters and it turned out to be a\nbit of a war of attrition. Simon S (Blaze) was first back through the line at\nthe end of the first lap and the second lap and the third lap! Julian B\n(D-Zero) repeated the feat in 2nd<\/sup> place, but then retired as he had\nsailed an incorrect course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 3rd<\/sup> place boat on the first lap was\nNewton (Solo), but then he retired on the second lap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This meant that Adrian (Rooster) who was 4th<\/sup>\non the first lap inherited 2nd<\/sup> place with the retirement of Julian\nand Newton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alistair S (Laser) who was in 5th<\/sup> place\non the first lap also retired on the second lap with the result that Rhys (4.7)\nwho was 6th<\/sup> on the first lap then crossed the line in 3rd<\/sup>\nplace at the end of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike C (sailing Steve\u2019s Solo) crossed the line in 7th<\/sup>\nplace on the first lap and completed every lap finishing up 4th<\/sup> on\nthe water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris H (Comet) was another casualty as he missed a\nmark on the third lap and was disqualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dave P (Mirror), Emily (Topper) and Phoebe (Oppie)\nsatisfactorily completed two laps and then receive the finish gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was a good thing Karen could not find all the\nnumbers as no-one would have finished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Simon; 2nd<\/sup> Adrian; 3rd<\/sup>\nRhys; 4th<\/sup> Mike C; 5th<\/sup> Dave P; 6th<\/sup> Emily; 7th<\/sup>\nPhoebe<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the result becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup>\nSimon; 2nd<\/sup> Rhys; 3rd<\/sup> Dave p; 4th<\/sup> Adrian; 5th<\/sup>\nMike C; 6th<\/sup> Emily; 7th<\/sup> Phoebe<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulations to Simon on winning the pennant, he\nwas actually the only one to keep the same position throughout the race!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Karen and the OOD Team of Maggie b, Marion T, Richard H, Sam and Stuart.. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Quite a brisk West wind this morning blowing about 15 mph and Karen set the first beat as 5, then 8, 4, 1, 3, 2, 6, B and back through the start (she couldn\u2019t find 7 and A in the box!)
