It was shorts and T shirts tonight for most, as it\nwas warm and sunny with a light wind (about 8 mph) from the SSW. Newton set the\nfirst mark as A (down past Tektona in the middle of the lake), then 2, 9, 6,7\nand back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were 20 starters and the Lasers of Mark and Mike Tr were a little over eager and across the line when the horn sounded, so both had to restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ellen (Laser) was first back across the line\nfollowed 30 seconds later by Hugh in another Laser. It was over a minute before\nDave & Ann (Leader) crossed in 3rd<\/sup> place and they were just\nahead of Curtis and Mike Tr in another two Lasers. There was a slight gap\nbefore Chris A (Solo) and Chris H (Comet) came along battling for 6th<\/sup>\nplace with a tight group close behind them led by Richard H (Laser) then Mike A\n(Lightning), Sally & Mike N (Leader), Paul H (Laser) and Mark (Laser). Then\na minute later Rick (Laser) came through on his own in 13th<\/sup> place\nwith Emily & Eidra (Feva) another minute further back and only just ahead\nof Alicia (Radial). Another minute later Jemima (Oppie) crossed in 16th<\/sup>\n place closely followed by Chris &\nCarol in their Sport 14 and they were about 30 seconds ahead of Ron (Mirror),\nSam (Radial) and Chris S (Laser), who was having his first outing for some time\n(good to see you back on the water Chris). <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the second lap Ellen and Hugh were\nstill ahead, but Curtis and Mike Tr had passed Dave & Ann pushing them down\nto 5th<\/sup> but they were all still very close on the water. No change\nwith the two Chris\u2019s, but Mark had gained four places to move up to 8th<\/sup>\nand the four boats behind him were enjoying a close battle, which was being\njoined by Rick. Emily & Eidra were steady in 14th<\/sup> place but\nChris S had gained five places to move to 15th<\/sup>. Sam was up to 16th<\/sup> just ahead of\nJemima in 17th<\/sup> with Ron, Chris & Carol and Alicia behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two leaders crossed the finish line well ahead\nof Mike Tr, who just got the better of Curtis to take 3rd spot. Mark had gained\nanother three places to finish 5th<\/sup> with Dave & Ann 6th<\/sup>.\nChris H and Richard H managed to pass Chris A to finish 7th<\/sup> and 8th\n<\/sup>with Mike A just pipping Paul H for 10th<\/sup>. Rick gained a place by\npassing Sally & Mike to take 12th<\/sup> place and Chris S gained\nanother place to move to 14th<\/sup>. Alicia regained five places to finish\n15th<\/sup> with Emily & Eidra 16th<\/sup> ahead of Sam in 17th<\/sup>.\nChris & Carol repassed Ron and they both got past Jemima. It was a pleasant\nevening of sailing with close battles and lots of overtaking all through the\nfleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup>\nEllen; 2nd<\/sup> Hugh; 3rd<\/sup> Mike Tr; 4th<\/sup> Curtis; 5th<\/sup>\nMark; 6th<\/sup> Dave & Ann<\/p>\n\n\n\n Corrected time produces a few changes with the order \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> Hugh; 4th<\/sup> Mike Tr; 5th<\/sup> Jemima; 6th<\/sup> Curtis <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Newton and the OOD Team of Ben E, Bob H,\nDean, Jill G and Monica. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was shorts and T shirts tonight for most, as it was warm and sunny with a light wind (about 8 mph) from the SSW.
