It was a cold wind of about 8 mph from the North this morning. Mark set a course of \u00a0Ap,\u00a0 5p , 9s , 2s, S.Despite the cold there was a good turn out of 23 boats including James C with his RS300, a new addition to our mixed class fleet. As usual Lasers were predominant with nine boats out, then three Comets, two Solos, two Mirrors, a 4.7, RS200, Leader, Wayfarer, Vago, Morbic and a Partridge in a Pear Tree (no \u2013 that\u2019s coming next month!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James C in the RS300 led for every lap and he was so far ahead he lapped everyone else and consequently did one more lap than the rest of the fleet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aileen retired her Comet after two laps and Lucy in a Laser and Paul W in the unique Morbic were finished after three laps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin in a Laser received the gun after four laps, followed by three boats in a close finish, Sally in her Comet just ahead of Hilary & Chris in their Wayfarer and Rhys in the 4.7. Then it was the turn of the two Mirrors to receive the gun with Ron some way ahead of Christine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the five lappers, who had been preceded by James C (who was sent round for another lap), came to take the gun with Richard S in his Laser leading Newton & Jasmine in the RS200 with Mike T in a Laser on their transom to take 2nd<\/sup>, 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> places on the water. \u00a0Not far behind these Roland and Mike C crossed their Solos in 5th<\/sup> and 6th after enjoying a race long battle. The next three were close together with James P in his Laser leading Chris H (Comet) and Darren (Laser) across the finish line. Then along came the Lasers of Alessandro (abandoning his 470) and Alistair S who finished only 15 seconds apart, Behind them there was an even closer finish with Ainhoa in a Laser pipping Adrian in his Vago by one second!<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the final order was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> James C; 3rd<\/sup> Roland S; 4th<\/sup> Mike C; 5th<\/sup> Richard S; 6th<\/sup> Mike T <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Mark Buckle and the race team of Bill Coulter, John Reekie, Matt Baxter, John Wakefield, James Morl and Thomas.
