There was a light 3-7 mph WSW wind this morning. Paul R was SOOD but not sure what course was set as it was not recorded on the race sheet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There were 17 starters and the early birds, Chris H\/Comet, Adrian\/Avon Scow, Paul W\/Morbic , Newton\/Solo, Dave & Ann\/Leader and Aileen \/Comet were still leading at the end of the lap. The first Lasers were James P, Rick, Karen and Richard S followed by Jazmine in her Topaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fleet managed three laps before the 35 minute gun sounded to signal the end of the race and the finishing order was- 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> Dave 7 Ann; 3rd<\/sup> Karen; 4th<\/sup> Richard S; 5th<\/sup> Newton; 6th<\/sup> James P;7th<\/sup> Mark; 8th<\/sup> Rick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone stayed out for the second race and first back across the line was Karen\/Laser closely followed by Richard S\/Laser. Chris H\/Comet was going well in 3rd<\/sup> place with the Lasers of James P and Adrian F crossing the line in 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> positions and Newton\/Solo was only one second further back. Mark was next along in 7th<\/sup> place followed by Alessandro & Mike T\/470. Then came a trio of Lasers, Rick, Mike Todd and Alastair being chased by Aileen\/Comet (probably the fist time in a long time that they have been chased by a fair maiden!) Towards the rear of the fleet there was a motley collection, Nigel\/Laser, Dave & Ann\/Leader, Adrian\/Avon Scow and Paul W\/Morbic. Jazmine retired on this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Richard S was in the lead at the end of this lap relegating Karen to 2nd<\/sup> place with Chris H still 3rd<\/sup>. Newton and Mark were both up two places to 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> respectively. Further back Dave & Ann had passed Nigel, and Adrian and Paul W were passed by the leaders before completing their second lap and were duly tooted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Karen had retaken the lead and crossed the finish line to take first place on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Richards was still in 2nd<\/sup> place and there were no changes in the 3rd<\/sup>, 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> positions. Alessandro & Mike T had gained a place to take 6th<\/sup> and Rick was up two places to 7th<\/sup>. Aileen and Dave & Ann also moved up two places to 10th<\/sup> and 11th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Richard S; 3rd<\/sup> Chris H; 4th<\/sup> Newton; 5th<\/sup> Mark; 6th<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T; 7th<\/sup> Rick; 8th<\/sup> James P<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this would become \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> Newton; 3rd<\/sup> Aileen; 4th<\/sup> Karen; 5th<\/sup> Richard S; 6th<\/sup> Mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, on the race sheet it looks as there may be trouble at t\u2019mill ! Chris H may have retired and Karen may have infringed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The results have not yet been published on the web site so we will have to wait for confirmation. A reet cliff hanger !<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Paul R and the race team of Anne Mir, Cecilia Bernadini, Chris ? and Mike Caton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There was a light 3-7 mph WSW wind this morning.
