The wind tonight was slightly higher than forecast\nabout 16 mph with gusts of 20 coming from the West, but less shifty than on last\nSunday, Steve S set the first mark as A (about level with Tektona, but out near\nthe buoy line).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the fairly strong wind the fleet became evenly\nspaced out and there was very little overtaking over the four laps of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karen (Laser) was first back across the line followed 15 seconds later by Mark in another Laser and he was 20 seconds ahead of Rick (Laser) in 3rd<\/sup> place. Alistair (Laser) came through in 4th<\/sup> place followed by Dave & Ann (Leader), who were just ahead of Paul H in his Supernova. These six maintained their positions for all four laps. Chris H (Comet) was 7th<\/sup> and Ron (Mirror) 8th<\/sup> on the first lap, but Jeremy (Laser) overtook both of them on the second lap to move up to 7th<\/sup> and these positions were unchanged for the rest of the race. Mike A (Lightning) did briefly get past Ron but then touched a mark and Ron repassed him when Mike was doing his penalty turns. At the back of the fleet Chris & Carol (Sport 14) led Mike T (Radial) and Lottie (4.7) and again these positions were unchanged throughout the race and these three boats were finished one lap early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Mark; 3rd<\/sup>\nRick; 4th<\/sup> Alistair; 5th<\/sup> Dave & Ann; 6th<\/sup>\nPaul H<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time, the first two keep their\npositions, but Ron moves up to 3rd place with Dave & Ann up to 4th<\/sup>,\nwith Rick 5th<\/sup> and Alistair 6th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Steve S and the OOD Team of Ben , Bob H, Chris M, Cliff P, Dean and Simon (good to see you again Simon \u2013 where\u2019s that yellow Laser?) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The wind tonight was slightly higher than forecast about 16 mph with gusts of 20 coming from the West, but less shifty than on last Sunday, Steve S set the first mark as A (about level with Tektona, but out near the buoy line).
