With a nice sunny evening and a light NNW wind Newton set a course of A (near 5), 5, 9, 4, B (near 2) and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were 12 starters and first back through the start line was James C\/RS300 not far ahead of Chris K\/Laser. Mike T\/Laser came along 30 seconds later followed by Chris H\/Comet, Steve & Rick\/RS200 and Ralph\/Laser. Then there was a slight gap before Emily\/Radial crossed in 7th<\/sup> place just in front of the Comets of Aileen and Sally. Some three minutes passed before Chris & Carol\/420, Rich\/Comet Duo and Phoebe\/Topper (nice to see you back on the water Phoebe) crossed the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n James C was still leading but struggling to drop Chris K and there were no changes in position on this lap. Sally, Chris & Carol, Rich and Phoebe all received the finish hooter at the end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the line Chris K snatched victory on the water from James C who was having trouble with the pesky weed! The only other change was Steve & Rick who pipped Chris H on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris K; 2nd<\/sup> James C; 3rd<\/sup> Mike T; 4th<\/sup> Steve & Rick; 5th<\/sup> Chris H; 6th<\/sup> Ralph<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris K; 2nd<\/sup> Chris H; 3rd<\/sup> Aileen; 4th<\/sup> Mike T; 5th<\/sup> Emily; 6th<\/sup> James C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Newton Anthony and the race team of Hadey Lines, John Harrison, Nigel Lacey and Paul Waterman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was actually the last race of the series and the overall winner was Chris Hilson in his Comet, just pipping James C in his RS300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulations to Chris on collecting yet another cup!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a nice sunny evening and a light NNW wind Newton set a course of A (near 5), 5, 9, 4, B (near 2) and back through the start.
