There was a light wind tonight and 16 starters for the first of the new evening series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike T (Laser) was first back through the line, followed 10 seconds later by Hugh (Laser), Karen (Radial) and Adrian (Rooster \u2013 a Laser with a bigger sail!) only one second ahead of Dean & Nick (Vago) who came through in 5th<\/sup> place. 15 seconds later, Mark (Laser) crossed only just ahead of Rick in another Laser and then there was a gap back to Emily (4.7) and Paul H (Supernova) who came along together in 8th <\/sup>and 9th<\/sup> positions. Nigel (Laser) was 10th<\/sup>, not far ahead of Chris H (Comet), Jeremy (Laser) and Rhys (4.7). Quite a gap then before Phoebe (Oppie) crossed the line and she was four minutes ahead of Paul W (Morbic12) and Gareth (Laser) who may have lost their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike T still led but, Hugh had a dodgy second lap as Karen, Adrian and Mark all got past him. Rick moved up one place to 6th. <\/sup>Paul gained two places to move up to 7th<\/sup> with Dean & Nick slipping back to 8th<\/sup> with Nigel up to 9th<\/sup>. Further back Gareth moved up two places to 14th. <\/sup>Paul W received the gun at the end of this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the end of the third lap Adrian had taken the lead with Karen pushing up to 2nd<\/sup> and Mike T down to 3rd<\/sup>. There was no change in the next three positions, but Dean & Nick regained a place to 7th<\/sup> with no further changes behind them. Phoebe received the finish gun this time round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fourth and last lap saw Karen getting past Adrian to cross the line in 1st<\/sup> place. Movers further back were Dean & Nick gaining two places to finish 5th<\/sup> and Jeremy after a race long battle with Nigel just pipping him for 9th<\/sup> place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Adrian; 3rd<\/sup> Mike T; 4th<\/sup> Mark; 5th<\/sup> Dean & Nick; 6th<\/sup> Rick<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this changes to \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Mike T; 3rd<\/sup> Phoebe; 4th<\/sup> Mark; 5th<\/sup> Chris H; 6th<\/sup> Adrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Darren and his team of Chris S, Paul R and Ralph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There was a light wind tonight and 16 starters for the first of the new evening series.
