The forecast was for a NNE wind of 7 mph, but on the race sheet SOOD Mark recorded a wind strength and direction of \u201cNOTHING!\u201d There was also no course recorded, but there must have been a short one because they managed to fit in four laps in 45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike T (Laser) was first back through the line with Emily & Newton (RS200) in 2nd<\/sup> place followed by Roland S (Solo), Karen (Laser) and the A Team (Rick & Steve S) in another RS200. Chris H (Comet) came through in 6th<\/sup> place, still recovering from Sunday morning. A mystery boat came along next, a 470, sail number 868 and a helm designated A (perhaps this is the real A team or perhaps A stands for anonymous). Anyway if anyone can identify the sailor we will feature him in the next race report. The Commodore crossed in 8th<\/sup> position (can anyone remember his name? Then came the friendly bunch Pip & Squeak in the Leader, Sally (Comet), Ron (Mirror), William S (Topper) and Angus the boatman in another Mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike T led for the remaining three laps and Emily & Newton and Karen kept swapping places in the battle for 2nd spot. \u00a0Roland was a steady 4th<\/sup> and Rick and Steve a steady 5th<\/sup>. There was a ding dong for 6th<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup> places involving Nigel (that\u2019s his name!), Dave & Ann and Chris H, with A maintaining 9th<\/sup> place. Ron had received the gun at the end of his third lap as he had been lapped by the leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Mike T; 2nd<\/sup> Emily & Newton; 3rd<\/sup> Karen; 4th<\/sup> Roland S; 5th<\/sup> Rick & Steve; 6th<\/sup> Nigel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this changes to \u2013 1st<\/sup> Mike T; 2nd<\/sup> Karen; Equal 3rd <\/sup>Emily & Newton and Roland; 5th<\/sup> Chris H; 6th<\/sup> Dave & Ann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Mark and the race team of Andrew, Mike C and Nick H.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The forecast was for a NNE wind of 7 mph, but on the race sheet SOOD Mark recorded a wind strength and direction of \u201cNOTHING!\u201d There was also no course recorded, but there must have been a short one because they managed to fit in four laps in 45 minutes.
