Very blustery this morning with a WSW wind of 15-20 mph and the usual\ngusts coming through. Rick set the first beat to 4, then A (near 2), 5, 8, 6, 7\nand back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\nthe tricky conditions there were a few capsizes with the Lasers, Leader and\nVago, but the Solo and Mirror managed to stay upright for the whole of the four\nlaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newton (Solo) was first back across the line at the end of the first lap with a useful lead over James (Laser \u2013 but flying a Radial) with Adrian (Laser) in 3rd<\/sup> place just two seconds ahead of Rhys (4.7) in 4th<\/sup> place. Mike C & Roland (Leader) were only five seconds behind Rhys and 12 seconds ahead of Dean & Nick in the Vago. Chris H (Comet) crossed in 7th<\/sup> place about 30 seconds ahead of Ron in his Mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\nthe second lap there was no change at the front, but Mike C & Roland moved\nup to 3rd<\/sup> place passing Adrian and Rhys. Dean & Nick and Chris H\nalso got past Rhys to move to 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At\nthe end of the third lap Newton still led with James 2nd<\/sup>, Mike C\n& Roland 3rd<\/sup>, Adrian 4th<\/sup> and Dean & Nick 5th<\/sup>.\n Chris H retired on this lap and Ron\npassed Rhys to move up to 6th<\/sup> spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Newton held his lead to finish first across the line, although James had closed to within 10 seconds of him.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Mike C and Roland came to grief on this lap, in fact Ron reported seeing a submarine but it turned out to be the Leader! The loss of the Leader moved everyone behind them up one place, so the final order on the water was \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup>\nNewton; 2nd<\/sup> James; 3rd<\/sup> Adrian; 4th<\/sup> Dean &\nNick; 5th<\/sup> Ron; 6th<\/sup> Rhys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected\ntime Ron takes the victory by just 10 seconds from Newton and shuffles everyone\ndown a place, apart from Rhys who remains 6th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks\nto Rick and the OOD Team of Lottie, Sam, Dave L, Jon and Marcin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Very blustery this morning with a WSW wind of 15-20 mph and the usual gusts coming through.
