It was another lovely Wednesday evening with a\nlight wind 7-10 mph from the SW. Rick decided to keep the course to himself in\ncase he wants to use it again, but it must have been fairly short as they got\nfour laps in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the first lap Karen crossed the line\njust ahead of Ellen, both in Lasers. It was 90 seconds before Mark (Laser)\ncrossed in 3rd<\/sup> place nor far ahead of Newton and Steve in Solos.\nJohn H (Laser) and Curtis (Laser) crossed together just in front of Dave &\nAnn (Leader) with Nigel and Hugh in two more Lasers on their transom. About 20 seconds later along came Jeremy (Laser),\nChris H (Comet), Sally & Stuart (Leader) and Paul H (Laser) battling for 11th<\/sup>\nspot and they were about 20 seconds ahead of Chris & Carol in their Sport\n14. It was another minute before Dean & Nick (Vago) hove into view and they\nwere about 30 seconds ahead of Alicia (Radial), Rhys (4.7) and Ron in his\nMirror. Then there was quite a gap back to Jemima in her Oppie who was having a\ngood battle with Katie in her Topper and bringing up the rear was Rich in his\nWanderer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the second lap, no change in the first four, but Curtis had moved up two places to 5th<\/sup> and Hugh was up four places to 6th<\/sup> (family fireworks coming up!). Nigel had passed Dave & Ann to move up to 8th<\/sup> and Dean & Nick had passed Chris & Carol to gain a place and Rich retired on this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, no change in the first four on the third\nlap, but Hugh had passed Curtis to take 5th<\/sup> place and John H moved\nup four places to 7th. <\/sup>Further back Paul H gained a place by passing\nSally & Stuart and Katie had passed Jemima. Rhys, Ron, Katie and Jemima all\nreceived the finish gun at the end of the lap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Still no change in the positions of the first four\non this last lap, but guess what Curtis had repassed Hugh! Nigel and Dave & Ann crossed the line\ntogether for an equal 8th<\/sup> spot and Dean & Nick made up one more\nplace, passing Sally & Stuart. The final order on the water was \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen; 3rd<\/sup>\nMark; 4th<\/sup> Newton; 5th<\/sup> Curtis; 6th<\/sup> Hugh<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this will become \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Jemima; 2nd<\/sup> Karen; 3rd<\/sup>\nEllen; 4th<\/sup> Newton; 5th<\/sup> Mark; 6th<\/sup> Chris H<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Rick and the OOD Team, but unfortunately\nnone of their names was entered on the race sheet. (OODs make sure you get your\nnames on the sheet or you might be allocated another duty \u2013 not that is any\ngreat hardship on a nice sunny evening!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think the rota had Ann, Bob L, Cecilia and\nCaroline G \u2013 so thank you if you turned out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was another lovely Wednesday evening with a light wind 7-10 mph from the SW.
