Well we lost another race last week to flooding, but\nit had receded enough to allow racing today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a good 14-15 mph wind from the South and\n15 starters set out for what turned out to be a four lap race. Peter R set the\ncourse, but unfortunately it was not recorded for posterity on the race sheet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simon (Blaze) was first back across the line about\n30 seconds ahead of Ralph (Laser), who was just 10 seconds ahead of Jon in\nanother Laser. Mark (Laser) was through in 4th<\/sup> place well clear of\nJames (Laser), Adrian (Laser) and Dave & Ann (Leader) who all crossed the\nline together. Then another tight group\nconsisting of Ken (Radial), Alistair (Laser) and Dean & Nick in the Vago\ncrossed together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rhys in his 4.7 came along 30 seconds later and he\nwas nearly a minute ahead of Chris H (Comet) and Mike C & Sally (Leader).\nEmily in another 4.7 was next through followed by Ron in his Mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the second lap there was no change in the leading\nthree, but James had moved up to 4th<\/sup> and Dean & Nick to 5th<\/sup>,\nalthough they only crossed the line one second ahead of Adrian in 6th<\/sup>\nplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dave & Ann were steady in 7th<\/sup> and\nAlistair was up one to 8th<\/sup> and Mike C & Sally were up three\nplaces to 10th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the third lap Simon still led, but Jon\nhad moved up to 2nd<\/sup> ahead of Ralph. James was holding 4th<\/sup>\nand Mark had regained four places to move to 5th<\/sup> place. Dean &\nNick were having a close battle with Dave & Ann crossing the line just 5\nseconds ahead of them in 6th<\/sup> place. Mike C & Sally had moved up\nanother place to 9th<\/sup> and Ken had regained a place to move to 10th<\/sup>.\nRon had managed to catch Emily and crossed the line just 8 seconds ahead of\nher, both of these received the gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Simon crossed the finish line about three minutes\nahead of Ralph who had regained 2nd<\/sup> place from Jon. There was a very\nclose finish for 4th<\/sup> place with James crossing just two seconds\nahead of Mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Adrian gained two places to move up to 6th<\/sup>\nby passing Dean & Nick and Dave & Ann, who were still locked together\nbattling for 7th<\/sup>. Ken gained\nanother place by passing Mike C & Sally to finish 9th <\/sup>and Rhys\npipped Chris on the line by one second!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was 1st<\/sup> Simon; 2nd<\/sup>\nRalph; 3rd<\/sup> Jon; 4th<\/sup> James; 5th<\/sup> Mark; 6th<\/sup>\nAdrian<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the first three keep their\npositions, but Ron takes 4th<\/sup> with Dave & Ann up to 5th<\/sup>\nand Ken up to 6th<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Peter R and the OOD Team of Mike N, Nev,\nPaul H, Sam and Will S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well we lost another race last week to flooding, but it had receded enough to allow racing today.
