It was a bit frisky tonight with a SW wind about 14 mph, but with much stronger squalls coming through and the threat of rain in the air. Chris A stepped up to take on the SOOD duty and set the first beat down to 4, then 2p, 5s, 6s, 7s and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
There were only 9 starters and Karen, Mark B and Rick had opted for Radial rigs and Franz had abandoned his Contender for a full rig Laser. Peter S had decided to be bold and use his CII sail on his Byte and Dean & Nick had also stuck to full rig for their Vago.<\/span><\/div>\n
First back through the start line was Karen with Mark B 2nd<\/sup>, Franz 3rd<\/sup> and Curtis 4th<\/sup>, all in Lasers and fairly close together. Peter S (Byte II) came through in 5th<\/sup> place with Rick (Laser) slightly further back in 6th<\/sup> place being chased by Dean & Nick (Vago). Bringing up the rear of the fleet were Mike A (Lightning) and Chris & Carol (Sport 14).<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap Karen had extended her lead, but Curtis had got past Mark and Franz to move up to 2nd<\/sup>. Dean & Nick had caught and passed Rick. By this time Chris & Carol had been lapped and they received the gun at the end of the lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On the third lap Curtis had caught Karen and they crossed the line virtually together. Peter had moved up to 4th<\/sup> by passing Franz and further back Rick had retaken Dean & Nick.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On the fourth and last lap Karen had got ahead again and Curtis had a mishap coming down to No 6 when a lull followed by a gust pushed him over the buoy line with a consequent capsize. This moved everyone up one place with only one change in position when Dean & Nick re-passed Rick.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Final positions on the water were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd <\/sup>Mark B; 3rd<\/sup> Peter S; 4th<\/sup> Franz; 5th<\/sup> Dean & Nick; 6th<\/sup> Rick.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap Peter should leapfrog Mark to take 2nd<\/sup> place.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks to Chris A (especially as he stepped in at the last minute) and the OOD Team of Helen, Graham K, Billy I and Julian W.<\/span><\/div>\n
