The fleet behind them was\ntightly packed with everyone within one minute from 3rd<\/sup> to 11th<\/sup>.\nThe Lasers of Jon and Karen were 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup>, then 10\nseconds later Rhys came through in 5th<\/sup> place just two seconds ahead\nof the old man James (Laser). Jamie in another Laser crossed in 7th<\/sup>\njust ahead of Adrian (Rooster) and behind him Ralph and Rick both in Lasers\ncrossed the line together with Will just six seconds further back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the second lap Jon\npassed Ellen & Newton to move up to 2nd<\/sup> place with Karen still 4th<\/sup>,\nbut Jamie, Adrian and Ralph all gained two places to move to 5th, <\/sup>6th\n<\/sup>and 7th respectively. Behind them Will gained three places to move up to\n8th<\/sup> and the losers in this shuffle were James and Rhys. Rick brought\nup the rear of the fleet in 11th<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the second\nlap Ellen & Newton were back up to 2nd<\/sup> and Karen up to 3rd<\/sup>\ncourtesy of a capsize by Jon, who nevertheless had recovered well to cross in 4th<\/sup>\nplace. Ralph gained another two places to move up to 5th<\/sup> with Adrian\nholding 6th<\/sup> and James making up two places to move to 7th<\/sup>.\nRick gained a place by passing Rhys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fourth lap was the\nlast and Julian had increased his lead at the front to three minutes with no\nchange in the order of the next six boats. Further back Rick had passed Will\nand Jamie to move to 8th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order on the\nwater was -1st<\/sup> Julian; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen & Newton; 3rd<\/sup>\nKaren; 4th<\/sup> Jon; 5th<\/sup> Ralph; 6th<\/sup> Adrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the only\nchange is Rhys taking 6th<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Paul R and the\nOOD Team of Alistair S, Amanda, Barbara M, Issy, Leon, Nev, Richard M and\nRoland L. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There was quite a strong wind this morning about 16 mph from the SW.
