It was bright and sunny morning but cold with a NW wind about 12 -14 mph with stronger gusts around 25 mph coming through. Jon and David C returned from their Summer migration or was it just the stronger wind that had brought them back! Julian W did the honours as SOOD and used an Island Start with a first beat to 5, then 3p, 2p, 4s, 1p and back through the start line.<\/span><\/div>\n

Pursuit Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
There were 16 starters and early starter Chris (Comet) was first back through the line followed by Hadey (Radial), Newton & Ellen (RS200), Sylvia (Radial), Jon C (Laser) and David C (Laser). Richard S (Laser) came through in 7th<\/sup> place leading a train of Lasers, Ralph, Franz, Mike A, Rick, Rod and Mark B.  <\/span>Bringing up the rear were Peter S (Byte CII) and late starters Adrian (Vago) and Paul H (Supernova) who were finding their larger sail area a bit of a handful in the conditions.<\/span><\/div>\n
By the end of the second lap Newton & Ellen had come through to lead with Jon up to 2nd<\/sup>, Hadey down to 3rd<\/sup> and David C up to 4th. <\/sup>Rod had gained two places and Mike A one place with everyone else keeping station or losing ground.  <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
At the gun Jon had got past Newton & Ellen to take the victory. The final positions were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Jon; 2nd<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> David C; 4th<\/sup> Hadey; 5th<\/sup> Sylvia; 6th<\/sup> Ralph.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Handicap Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Paul H and Mark B decided to sit this one out leaving 14 starters for the second race of the day and by this time the sun had disappeared and the wind had increased slightly.<\/span><\/div>\n
Ellen & Newton were first back through the start line closely followed by Jon and David. Ralph was next through in 4th<\/sup> spot just ahead of Richard S, then a slight gap back to Hadey, Mike A and Sylvia.<\/span><\/div>\n
Rod and Franz came through in 9th<\/sup> and 10th<\/sup>  <\/span>with Peter S 11th<\/sup> and Adrian 12th<\/sup> with Chris and Rick bringing up the rear.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap, strong wind maestro Jon was in the lead and he kept this position to the end of the race. The boats in 2nd<\/sup> to 5th<\/sup> places maintained their positions and Mike A moved up one place to 6th<\/sup>, Peter S also gained a place and Rick gained two places.<\/span><\/div>\n
The third lap saw no change in position for the first nine boats, but Rod had regained a place to 10th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
The fourth lap was the last lap and the only change in position in the whole fleet was David C taking 2nd<\/sup> place from Ellen & Newton.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Jon; 2nd<\/sup> David; 3rd<\/sup> Ellen & newton; 4th<\/sup> Ralph; 5th<\/sup> Richard; 6th<\/sup> Mike A  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap the first five boats should remain the same, but Mike may be leapfrogged by the Radials<\/span><\/div>\n
of Sylvia and Hadey.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks to Julian W and the OOD Team of Pat, Sophie, Patrick and Colin.<\/span><\/div>\n
