It was a misty autumnal morning with not a lot of wind, about 4 mph ESE. Mike A used an Island Start with a first beat (drift) to X (which was about level with 8 in the middle of the lake) then 5p, 2s, 4s and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n

Pursuit Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Only 8 starters this morning and Chris H (Comet) was first away followed a few minutes later by Hadey (Radial). Chris actually managed to stay ahead until the last 10 minutes of the race when everyone apart from Dave I (Laser) managed to squeeze past him. Ellen & Newton had managed to get away at the front but the rest of the fleet was quite close together and at the gun Steve S was just pipped for 2nd<\/sup> place by Mark B in the final seconds of the race.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Ellen & Newton (RS200); 2nd<\/sup> Mark B (Laser); 3rd<\/sup> Steve S (Aero); 4th<\/sup> Adrian (Vago); 5th<\/sup> Ralph (Laser); 6th<\/sup> Hadey (Radial; 7th<\/sup> Chris H (Comet) 8th<\/sup> Dave I (Laser). <\/span><\/div>\n

Handicap Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last week the wind got up for the second race, but this week it actually dropped slightly. Bob L having sorted out some problems with his Solo rudder joined the fleet for this race. Newton & Ellen managed to get quite a lead on the rest of the fleet with a gap back to Mark in 2nd<\/sup> place and another gap back to Steve S in 3rd<\/sup> place. Ralph and Dave I were fairly close together in 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> places with another gap back to the rest of the fleet, who were really close together.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With the wind appearing to drop even more, Mike A decided to finish them after just one lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 2nd<\/sup> Mark B; 3rd<\/sup> Steve S; 4th<\/sup> Ralph.; 5th<\/sup> Dave I; 6th<\/sup> Hadey; 7th<\/sup> Bob L; 8th<\/sup> Adrian; <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
9th<\/sup> Chris H.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On handicap the only change should be Chris leapfrogging up to 5th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks to Mike A and the OOD Team of Sylvia, Bob W and Mick G. <\/span><\/div>\n
