The wind tonight was coming from the NW about 10-12 mph and Steve s set the first mark as 5 then 4, 9, 1, A and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were 20 starters, the same number as last week. First back through the start was Karen (Laser) only two seconds ahead of Darren (Laser) followed closely by the four Lasers of Ellen, Ralph, Mark and Mike T. Then as a change, the Solo of Newton crossed in 7th<\/sup> place with Will (Radial) in 8th<\/sup> just ahead of the Leader of Dave & Ann. Next along was Chris A having abandoned his Solo in favour of a Laser with Sally (Comet) chasing him. Our Commodore, Nigel (Laser) was next across the line in 12th<\/sup> place well ahead of Rick (Laser) in 13th<\/sup> and he was followed by Ron (Mirror), Emily (4.7) and Richard H (Laser). Then along came the motley crew of Rich F (Comet Duo), Aileen and Chris in Comets (they must have been too busy class racing to notice Sally getting clean away) and last but not least Phoebe in her Oppie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the end of the second lap Darren had passed Karen to take the lead and Ralph had moved up to 3rd<\/sup>. Further back Chris A, Richard H andAileen all gained two places. Rich F retired on this lap and Phoebe received the gun at the end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the third lap Ralph and Ellen passed Karen to move up to 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> respectively and Newton passed Mike T and Mark to move to 5th<\/sup>. Dave & Ann moved up to 8th<\/sup> position by repassing Chris A and getting past Will, as did Nigel gaining two places to 9th<\/sup>. Ron and Emily received the gun at the end of this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Darren crossed the line in 1st<\/sup> place at the end of the fourth and last lap with Ralph still 2nd<\/sup>. There was a split decision for 3rd<\/sup> place with Ellen and Karen crossing the line abreast with Mike T only one second behind them in 5th<\/sup> place. Chris A and Nigel also crossed line abreast battling for 10th<\/sup> spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Darren; 2nd<\/sup> Ralph; 3rd<\/sup> equal Ellen and Karen; 5th<\/sup> Mike T; 6th<\/sup> Newton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the order changes to \u2013 1st<\/sup> Darren; 2nd<\/sup> Newton; 3rd<\/sup> Ralph; 4th<\/sup> Ron; 5th<\/sup> equal Ellen and Karen; 6th<\/sup> Mike T<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Steve S and the team of Monica, Mike C, Nick H, Nick J and Peter S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The wind tonight was coming from the NW about 10-12 mph and Steve s set the first mark as 5 then 4, 9, 1, A and back through the start.
