There was a 6mph SW wind, although it varied up and down during the race and Peter S set a first beat to 4, then 2p, 5s,6s, Xs and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
There were 19 starters, which was actually the same number as last year.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Newton & Ellen (RS200) were first back through the start followed by Ryan & Roland (National 12) and Karen (Laser). Peter R (Enterprise) came through in 4th<\/sup> place with Hugh (Laser) 5th<\/sup>, Mike A (Lightning) 6th<\/sup>,Adrian (Laser) 7th<\/sup>, Hadey (Radial) 8th<\/sup>,Steve P (Laser) 9th<\/sup> and Dave I (Radial) 10th. <\/span><\/div>\n
Sally (Comet) and Eddie B (Laser) retired at the end of the lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap the first four boats were in the same positions, but Adrian had moved up two places to 5th<\/sup>and Hadey was up two places to 6th<\/sup>. Behind these there was a close battle between Gareth (Laser), Rick (Laser), Dave I, Chris H (Comet) and Franz (Contender) with Bob (Solo) bringing up the rear. Dave I decided two laps were enough and retired after crossing the line.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On the third lap there was no change at the front but Hugh had regained 5th<\/sup> place pushing Adrian down to 6th<\/sup>. Steve P was up to 7th<\/sup> but in a battle royal with Hadey, Rick, Mike A, Gareth and Alistair S. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The fourth lap saw no change in the positions of the first four boats, but Adrian was back up to 5th<\/sup> with Hugh 6th<\/sup> and Mike A up to 7th<\/sup>. Alistair had gained two places to 11th<\/sup> and Chris H two places to 12th<\/sup>, but the boats from 7th<\/sup> to 13th<\/sup> were constantly changing position throughout the race.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the fifth and last lap Newton & Ellen had a commanding lead and crossed the line well ahead of Karen, who had just managed to get past Roland & Ryan. Peter R had kept his 4th<\/sup> place throughout the whole of the race and Adrian had got away from Hugh to finish in a safe 5th<\/sup>. Hugh nearly got caught at 6, but just managed to stay ahead to finish 6th<\/sup> <\/sub>with Hadey, Steve P and Mike A finishing line astern just behind Hugh. Chris H gained another two places to move to 10th<\/sup> and Gareth gained two places to 13th<\/sup> and Bob managed to catch and pass Franz.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 2nd<\/sup> Karen; 3rd<\/sup> Roland & Ryan; 4th<\/sup> Peter R; 5th<\/sup> Adrian; 6th<\/sup> Hugh.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap the first three will remain the same, but Chris H, Mike A and Hadey should move up to 4th<\/sup>, 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> respectively.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Peter S and the OOD Team of Sylvia, Damian, John and Brian. <\/span><\/div>\n
