The wind this morning was\na light East to SE variable, probably about 5\u20138 mph. Mike N had the difficult task\nof setting a course in the tricky wind conditions and settled on A, B, 3, 2, 5\nand back through the start. Not quite sure where A and B were, but would guess\nsomewhere near the buoy line with a Tektona start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 24 starters, which in the\nlight winds led to some close encounters. No one caught the early starters Ron\n(Mirror) and Chris H (Comet) and the next three boats were the Lasers of Mark,\nJess and John W with Peter R (Enterprise) just managing to stay ahead of Adrian\nin his Rooster. In the juniors Phoebe (Oppie) was ahead of Emily (Topper) and\nJemima (Oppie). In the not so juniors now, Joe (Laser) finished ahead of Will\n(Radial) and Rhys (4.7), which was about what you would expect given the sail\nsizes in a light wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order was -1st<\/sup>\nRon; 2nd<\/sup> Chris H; 3rd<\/sup> Mark; 4th<\/sup> Jess; 5th<\/sup>\nJohn W; 6th<\/sup> Peter R <\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No course change for the\nsecond race, but Julian B joined the fray in his Devoti -Zero and duly crossed\nthe line in 1st<\/sup> place after three laps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No times were recorded\nfor the first and second laps so I cannot tell you who passed who, or if anyone\ndid at all (some say thank heaven for that!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the battle of the\nRS200s Paul & Lottie took the honours finishing 2nd<\/sup> on the\nwater, whilst Karen took the Laser honours ahead of Jess, Richard S and Jon. The\nonly other craft to constitute a fleet (well two actually) were the Comets and\nthe Oppies. In the former Chris H finished ahead of Nev and in the latter\nJemima finished ahead of Phoebe, although in the race of the juniors Emily in\nher Topper finished in front of the Oppies and these three received the gun at\nthe end of the second lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As in the pursuit Joe\nfinished ahead of Will and Rhys, but Will pipped him on handicap. Chris K with\nCharlie & Pippa crewing in his Mirror retired, but not sure of which lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The finishing order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Julian; 2nd<\/sup> Paul & Lottie; 3rd<\/sup> Karen; 4th<\/sup> Newton & Sam; 5th<\/sup> Jess; 6th<\/sup> Richard S<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup>\nRon; 3rd<\/sup> Jemima; 4th<\/sup> Paul & Lottie; 5th<\/sup>\nJulian; 6th<\/sup> Jess<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Mike N and the\nOOD Team of Doug H, Nigel J, Patrick C and Sally<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The wind this morning was a light East to SE variable, probably about 5\u20138 mph.
