The forecast was for WSW\nwinds of about 15-16 mph, but in the event it was probably only about 10-12 mph.\nMike A set the first beat as A (in line with Tektona but not as far down the\nlake) then 2, 4 and then a slalom back down the lake with 9, 5, 8, 6, 7 and\nback through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There were 11 starters as\nfor last week and first away was Hadey (4.7) followed by Chris H (Comet) then\nDave & Ann (Leader) followed by the four Lasers of Jon, Karen, Rick and\nJamie along with Newton & Ellen in the RS200 and finally Adrian (Rooster)\nand Julian (D-Zero).<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the first lap\nChris was still ahead followed by Dave & Ann then Newton & Ellen then\nHadey, Karen and Jon. At the gun the final order was -1st<\/sup> Julian; 2nd<\/sup>\nChris; 3rd<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 4th<\/sup> Jon; 5th<\/sup> Karen;\n6thDave & Ann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris was suffering with\nan arm strain so decide to sit the second race out. First back was Julian about\none minute ahead of Adrian in 2nd<\/sup> place, who was not far in front of\nKaren, then Ellen & Newton and Jon crossed the line together. Just 15\nseconds later Dean & Nick crossed the line 10 seconds ahead of Rick in 7th<\/sup>\nplace. A minute later Jamie came through just ahead of Dave & Ann and\nfinally Hadey (probably wishing she had gone for a Radial rig rather than 4.7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Julian doubled his lead on the second lap, but Adrian was still holding 2nd<\/sup> place. Ellen & Newton and Jon had passed Karen (but only just!) to move to 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Dean & Nick were still 6th<\/sup> and Rick was still 7th <\/sup>(again!). Behind them the only change was Dave & Ann passing Jamie. Hadey received the gun at the end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only changes on the last lap were Julian increasing his lead to 3 minutes, Karen repassing Jon to take 4th<\/sup> and Jamie repassing Dave & Ann to take 8th<\/sup>. The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Julian; 2nd<\/sup>\nAdrian; 3rd<\/sup> Ellen & Newton; 4th<\/sup> Karen; 5th<\/sup>\nJon; 6th<\/sup> Dean & Nick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the order changes to \u2013 1st<\/sup> Julian; 2nd<\/sup>\nKaren; 3rd<\/sup> Jon; 4th<\/sup> Ellen & Newton; 5th<\/sup>\nDean & Nick; 6th<\/sup> Dave & Ann<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Mike A and the\nOOD Team of Bob H, Colin H, also to Doug H, Mike C and Roland L who volunteered\nat the last minute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The forecast was for WSW winds of about 15-16 mph, but in the event it was probably only about 10-12 mph.
