The forecast was for a 7 mph SW wind, but in the event it was about 10 -12 mph and quite a pleasant morning.<\/span><\/div>\n
Bob set a long beat down to 3 then 9p, 5s, 7s and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Pursuit Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
There were 23 starters and first away was Gordon P in his Mirror but at the end of the first lap early starter William (Topper) was  in the lead with Steve S (Solo) 2nd<\/sup> and fast moving Paul R (Aero 7) through to 3rd<\/sup>. Dave & Ann (Leader) were going well in 4th <\/sup>with <\/sup>Hadey(Radial) 5th<\/sup> and Chris Hilson (Comet) 6th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
The gun went on the second lap and by that time Paul R had come through to take 1st<\/sup> and Karen (Laser) had moved up to 2nd<\/sup> with Dave & Ann gaining a place to take 3rd<\/sup>. <\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Paul; 2nd<\/sup> Karen; 3rd<\/sup> Dave & Ann; 4th<\/sup> Steve S; 5th<\/sup> Ellen & Newton (RS200); 6th<\/sup> Hadey.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Handicap Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Dave I, Gordon P and Mick G decided one race was enough for them so the fleet was down to 20 for the second race.<\/span><\/div>\n
There were a number of incidents on the first lap, Chris H nearly took Jon’s rudder off and then later approaching No 3 Adrian (Vago) had just tacked on the buoy line and Rick came steaming in and T-boned him!  First back through the line was Paul R with Karen 2nd<\/sup>, sounds familiar! Newton & Ellen were 3rd<\/sup>, Jon (Laser) 4th<\/sup>, Ken P (Laser) 5th<\/sup> and Curtis (Laser) 6th<\/sup>. Steve S was 7th<\/sup> just ahead of Steve P (Laser) who crossed the line a whisker ahead of Rod (Laser) with Richards S in yet another Laser in 10th<\/sup> place.<\/span><\/div>\n
Further back there was trouble ahead as six boats, Dave & Ann (Leader), Hugh (Laser), Chris A (Solo), Rick (Laser) Gareth (Laser) and Mike A (Lightning) all approached No 7 line abreast. Inevitably there was a coming together and multiple collisions. Strangely the only one who appeared to have transgressed was Mike A as he was the only one to do penalty turns \u2013 funny that!<\/span><\/div>\n
Hugh retired, but not sure if that was a result of the collision round 7 or some other reason.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Paul increased his lead on the second lap, but there was no change behind him until 5th<\/sup> place, which Curtis had taken from Ken. Rod (Laser) had moved up one place to 8th<\/sup>, Hadey had moved up seven places to 11th<\/sup> ! William received the finish gun at the end of this lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the third and last lap Paul crossed the line to take victory, but Newton & Ellen just pipped Karen on the line to take 2nd<\/sup>. There was another close finish between Ken and Steve S with Steve just snatching 6th<\/sup> place from Ken. The final positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Paul; 2nd<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 3rd<\/sup>; Karen; 4th<\/sup> Jon; 5th<\/sup> Curtis; 6th<\/sup> Steve S.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On Handicap Paul keeps the win, but Steve S jumps up to 2nd<\/sup> pushing the other down one place.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks  to Bob and the OOD Team of Chris B, Dene F, Nicholas L, Susanne C <\/span><\/div>\n
