With a light wind Ron set a course of A, 5, 2, 4 and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thirteen starters and the first boats away were the Comets and at the end of the lap Chris and Aileen were 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> with Sally 5th<\/sup>. Mike C (Solo) was 5th<\/sup> and the first Laser was Mark in 4th<\/sup> place. Steve S (Blaze) was last man away and in the light wind decided he had no chance of making ground and retired after completing the first lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the gun the positions were \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> Mike C; 3rd<\/sup> Mark; 4th<\/sup> Aileen; 5th<\/sup> Mike T; 6th<\/sup> Ralph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mark and Steve S decided not to do the second race, so the fleet was down to eleven. Darren and Karen in Lasers were first back across the line with only 5 seconds between them. Chris H (Comet) came through in 3rd<\/sup> place just ahead of Roland S (Solo), then Ralph and Mike T in Lasers crossed the line together battling for 5th<\/sup> place. The second Solo of Mike C was 7th<\/sup> not far ahead of James (Laser). There was then a gap of two minutes before Sally and Aileen in Comets came along and they were followed by Rick & Lottie in their RS200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No change in the two leaders on the second lap but Roland, Mike T and Ralph had all passed Chris to move up to 3rd<\/sup> 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> places. James moved up to 7th<\/sup> by passing Mike C and Rick & Lottie gained a place by passing Aileen. Sally retired on this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the last lap there was no change in any of the positions, so the final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Darren; 2nd<\/sup> Karen; 3rd<\/sup> Roland; 4th<\/sup> Mike T; 5th<\/sup> Ralph; 6th<\/sup> Chris H.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> Darren; 3rd<\/sup> Roland; 4th<\/sup> Karen; 5th<\/sup> Mike T; 6th<\/sup> Ralph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A great start to the Summer Series for Mr H with a nice double success, you could say a H2S triumph!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Ron and the race team of Jewels, Ann & Dave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a light wind Ron set a course of A, 5, 2, 4 and back through the start.
