Then came the Lasers of Incognito 1, Darren and Ralph, who were followed by Alessandro & Mike T\/470 and then two more Lasers helmed by Nigel and Incognito 2!<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the end of the second lap Roland had taken over the lead with Incognito 1 moving up to 2nd<\/sup> place and Darren up to 3rd<\/sup>. Chris H and Ron were still hanging on in 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> and Ralph had moved up two places to 6th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the gun the final order was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Roland; 2nd<\/sup> Darren; 3rd<\/sup> Ingonito 1; 4th<\/sup> Chris H; 5th<\/sup> Ralph; 6th<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before the start of the second race Adrian changed the course to 1, A, 5, 4, and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daren\/Laser was first back across the line some 20 seconds ahead of Ralph\/Laser, who was closely followed by Roland\/Solo. Then Chris K\/Laser and Alessandro & Mike T\/470 crossed the line abreast battling for 4th<\/sup> place. Mark\/Laser was next through in 6th<\/sup> about 30 seconds ahead of Chris H\/Comet. Some 30 seconds later Nigel\/Laser crossed one minute ahead of Ron\/Mirror with Aileen\/Comet on his transom and she was followed by Paul W in his Morbic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of Lap 2, Darren still led, but Chris K was up to 2nd<\/sup> and Alessandro & Mike T up to 3rd<\/sup>. This pushed Ralph and Roland down to 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> places. Behind these the order remained the same although Mark had increased his Lead over Chris H to two minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No change in the first two on Lap 3, but Ralph had repassed Alessandro & Mike T to move up to 3rd<\/sup> place and Mark had passed Roland to move to 5th<\/sup>. Further back Nigel passed Chris H to move to 7th<\/sup> and Aileen passed Ron to move to 9th<\/sup>. Both Ron and Paul W received the gun at the end of this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 4 was the last and Darren crossed in 1st<\/sup> place followed by Chris K in 2nd<\/sup>. Alessandro & Mike regained 3rd<\/sup> place by getting past Ralph, but there were no other changes in position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Darren; 2nd<\/sup> Chris K; 3rd<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T; 4th<\/sup> Ralph; 5th<\/sup> Mark; 6th<\/sup> Roland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Darren; 2nd<\/sup> Chris K; 3rd<\/sup> Ralph; 4th<\/sup> Roland; 5th<\/sup> Mark; 6th<\/sup> Chris H<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Adrian Frost and the race team of Andy Field, Helen Juon and Paul Hyde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not sure if there were any more OODs, but these were the only names on the race sheet.
