It was a warm sunny evening with a WSW wind of\nabout 10 mph Curtis set the first mark as A (down past Tektona) then 2, 9, 5,\n6, 7 and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20 starters tonight and first back through the line\nwas Ellen (sailing Julian B\u2019s Devoti-Zero) and she was already 30 seconds ahead\nof Ralph (Laser) and Newton (Solo), who was just ahead of Hugh (Laser). 20 seconds later a trio of Lasers crossed the\nline, Jess, Jamie and Rick, who was 7th<\/sup> again. Then along came a\nmotley mix of boats, Chris H (Comet), Dean & Nick (Vago), Chris A (Solo),\nMike A (Lightning) and Sally & Sam (Leader). Mike T (Laser) was through in\n13th<\/sup> place and behind him Emily (4.7) and Jeremy (Laser) crossed the\nline together. A minute later Bob L\n(Solo) crossed in a lonely 16th<\/sup> place some five minutes ahead of\nPhoebe (Oppie), Chris S (Laser) and Olliver (Topper) with Rich F (Pico)\nbringing up the rear of the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the second lap no change with the first two, but\nEllen had increased her lead. Newton and Hugh crossed together battling for 3rd<\/sup>\nplace and there was no change in the 5th<\/sup> to 10th<\/sup> placed\nboats. Sally & Sam had moved up one place by passing Mike A to move to 11th<\/sup>\nand Jeremy, Bob L and Chris S also gained one place. Phoebe, Olliver and Rich\nreceived the gun at the end of this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the third lap Ellen and Ralph still\nled but Hugh had now established himself in a clear 3rd<\/sup> place and\nJess had moved past Newton to 4th<\/sup> place. Jamie and Rick were still 6th<\/sup>\nand 7th<\/sup>, but Dean & Nick had moved up to 8th<\/sup> by\npassing Chris H. There were no other changes in position and Emily and Chris S\nreceived the gun at the end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fourth lap was the last lap and Ellen crossed\nthe line four minutes ahead of Ralph to take the victory. The only changes in\nposition were with the double handers as Dean& Nick moved up another place\npassing Rick and Sally & Sam gained a place by passing Chris A. The final\norder on the water was -1st<\/sup> Ellen; 2nd<\/sup> Ralph; 3rd<\/sup>\nHugh; 4th<\/sup> Jess; 5th<\/sup> Newton; 6th<\/sup> Jamie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup>\nEllen; 2nd<\/sup> Ralph; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Chris H; 5th<\/sup>\nHugh; 6th<\/sup> Jess<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Curtis and the OOD Team of Chris &\nCarol M, Chris M, Karen T, Susannah M and Nick JJ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was a warm sunny evening with a WSW wind of about 10 mph Curtis set the first mark as A (down past Tektona) then 2, 9, 5, 6, 7 and back through the start. 20 starters tonight and first back through the line was Ellen (sailing Julian B\u2019s Devoti-Zero) and she was already 30 seconds ahead of Ralph (Laser)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9D017-mZ","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1425"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1426,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1425\/revisions\/1426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.readingsc.org.uk\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
