It was quite a wind this\nmorning, blowing SW 10-16 mph, but very gusty. Richard S set the first mark as\nX, then 2,4,9,5,6,7 and back through the start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There were just 11\nstarters, which perhaps was not surprising being Father\u2019s Day (some of us were\ndown the pub having a Sunday roast!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the first lap early starter Jewels led the old man both in Mirrors, Jon (Laser) was 3rd<\/sup> and Newton & Ellen (RS200) were 4th<\/sup> despite a capsize rounding 9. Dave & Ann (Leader) were 5th<\/sup> and being rapidly caught by Julian B (D-Zero) and at the gun Julian had caught and passed everyone to take 1st<\/sup> place. The final order was \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Julian; 2nd<\/sup>\nNewton & Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> Ron; 4th<\/sup> Dave & Ann; 5th<\/sup>\nJon; 6th<\/sup> Adrian (Rooster)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ralph and Karen (who had both retired in the earlier race) decided to give this one a miss, so the fleet was down to nine. Richard shortened the course taking 3 and 2 out and using 4 as the first mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ellen & Newton were\nfirst back through the line not far ahead of Jon in 2nd<\/sup> place and Julian\nin 3rd<\/sup>. Adrian came though in 4th<\/sup> about 30 seconds ahead\nof Dean & Nick (Vago) and they were a minute ahead of Ron who was a minute\nahead of Jewels. Chris H (Comet) was battling away at the back of the\nfleet. The conditions were probably even\ntrickier for this second race and Mike C & Sally (Leader) gracefully retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only change on the\nsecond lap was Adrian passing Julian to move to 3rd<\/sup> and the only\nchanges on the third lap were the retirements of Julian and Chris (who missed a\nmark). The two Mirrors of Ron and Jewels\nwere finished at the end of this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were no surprises on the last lap and the final order on the water was \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Ellen\n& Newton; 2nd<\/sup> Jon; 3rd<\/sup> Adrian; 4th<\/sup> Dean\n& Nick and one lap down 5th<\/sup> Ron and 6th<\/sup> Jewels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this\nbecomes \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Ellen\n& Newton; 2nd<\/sup> Ron; 3rd<\/sup> Jon; 4th<\/sup> Dean &\nNick; 5th<\/sup> Jewels; 6th<\/sup> Adrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Richard S and\nthe OOD Team of Alistair J, Alistair S and Richard H, that could have led to\nsome confusion but they coped admirably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was quite a wind this morning, blowing SW 10-16 mph, but very gusty.
