We had a new fleet this\nmorning (well a small fleet of two!), when Paul &amp; Nev turned out in a\nRS200.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were 15 starters,\nbut we lost Dean &amp; Nick (Vago) on the first lap, not sure of the reason for\ntheir early departure. Early starter Ron (Mirror) was first back across the\nline with Phoebe (Oppie) still hanging on to 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place, but Paul\n&amp; Nev were fast approaching with Mark (Laser) behind them. Dave &amp; Ann (Leader)\nwere managing to stay ahead of the chasing pack, but their rear view mirror was\nfull of the second RS200 with Newton &amp; Ellen on board. At the gun the order\nwas \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1<sup>st<\/sup> Paul &amp;\nNev; 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Newton &amp; Ellen; 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Dave &amp; Ann; 4<sup>th<\/sup>\nJon (Laser); 5<sup>th<\/sup> Karen (Laser); 6<sup>th<\/sup> Adrian (Rooster)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fleet was down to 12\nfor the second race as Dean &amp; Nick did not reappear and Jamie H decide to\nsit this one out. It was still very windy and turned out to be a two-lap affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First back through the\nline were Paul &amp; Nev closely followed by the other RS200 of Ellen &amp;\nNewton with Dave &amp; Ann going well in the windy conditions in 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\nplace. Not something you see very often with the three leading boats all being\ndouble handers. Adrian came through in 4<sup>th<\/sup> place just ahead of Karen,\nwho was only 10 seconds ahead of Rick in another Laser. &nbsp;Mark was 7<sup>th<\/sup> with Jon and Chris H (Comet)\nbattling for 8<sup>th<\/sup> place. Two minutes later Ron crossed in a lonely 10<sup>th<\/sup>\nplace as he in turn was about two minutes ahead of Emily (Topper) with Phoebe gamely\nbattling on at the rear of the fleet and receiving the gun at the end of the\nlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only 20 seconds between\nthe two RS200s at the finish, but Paul &amp; Nev had kept their nose in front\nto take the victory. There was a bit of shuffling about behind them for the\nnext places with Adrian gaining one place to move to 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and Mark\ngaining three places up to 4<sup>th<\/sup>. Jon passed Rick to move up a place,\nbut the order of the first six was \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1<sup>st<\/sup> Paul &amp;\nNev; 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Ellen &amp; Newton; 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Adrian; 4<sup>th<\/sup>\nMark; 5<sup>th<\/sup> Karen; 6<sup>th<\/sup> Dave &amp; Ann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On corrected time the\nfirst two keep their positions, but Mark moves up to 3<sup>rd<\/sup> with Dave\n&amp; Ann 4th and Adrian and Ron were equal 5<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Richard S and\nthe OOD Team of Andrew &amp; Son, Chris, Issy, Roland L and Sam. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite windy this morning with a WSW blowing 12-16 mph, which enabled Richard S to set a long beat down to 3 then2, 4, 8, 6, 7 and back through the start.
