No Leaders out today, but there were the two Vagos of Dean & Nick and Adrian (single-handed), the RS200 of Ellen &Newton, the Comet of Chris H and the Contender of Franz to provide some variety from the pack of Lasers. Although one of the Lasers was the Laser II of Milo & James and Hadey and Curtis were using Radial rigs.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the gun Ellen & Newton had come through to the front with Karen 2nd<\/sup> and William 3rd<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
