Chris H was on duty again this morning and with a light NW wind set a course of B, 9, 4, C, 5, 8, S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Only seven starters this morning, but perhaps not surprising with it being a Bank Holiday weekend. (We were hosting a family lunch, so this Jolly Sailor was acting sous chef and waiter!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n No intermediate positions or times were recorded on the race sheet, but the final order was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Richard S\/Laser; 2nd<\/sup> Karen\/Laser; 3rd<\/sup> Nigel\/Laser; 4th<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T\/470; 5th<\/sup> Rick\/Laser; 6th<\/sup> Nick H & Nick T\/Fireball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a long time since I have seen a Fireball on the water. The last time was when the bow of the Fireball was through the side of my Enterprise having well and truly T-boned us! I hasten to add that it was not this Fireball!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris changed the course for the second race and there was an interesting addition to the fleet when Adrian joined with his Avon Scow (wish I was down there to see what it was like). It was a pity the Morbic and the Goat Island Skiff were not out as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Karen was first back through the line closely followed by Richard S. Then just over one minute later Nicks H & T in the Fireball crossed in 3rd<\/sup> place ahead of Alessandro & Mike T in the 470. Rick and Nigel in their Lasers were next across the line having a good scrap for 5th<\/sup> place and then along came Adrian in his Avon Scow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the second lap Alessandro & Mike passed the two Nicks and Nigel squeezed past Rick. Adrian received the gun at the end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the third lap and last lap there was no changes in order, so the final positions were –<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Richard S; 3rd<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T; 4th<\/sup> Nick H & Nick T; 5th<\/sup> Nigel; 6th<\/sup> Rick; 7th<\/sup> Adrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Karen\/Laser; 2nd<\/sup> Richard\/Laser; 3rd<\/sup> Nigel\/Laser; 4th<\/sup> Rick\/Laser; 5th<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T\/470; 6th<\/sup> Adrian\/Avon Scow; 7th<\/sup> Nick H & Nick T\/Fireball<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Chris H and the race team of Ann & Dave; Anthony, Ken P and Nick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chris H was on duty again this morning and with a light NW wind set a course of B, 9, 4, C, 5, 8, S.
