There was a light 6 mph wind from the NNE and just 11 starters this morning. Adrian Frost was SOOD with only Richard Moore and Issy Jenkins on the duty roster. Not sure if anyone helped out as this Jolly Sailor was getting very jolly at a Jubilee Street Party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the first lap Newton\/Solo was leading from Richard S\/Laser and Nigel\/Laser who had both done well to catch and pass most of the earlier starters. Steve in his Blaze was up to 4th<\/sup> spot\u00a0 with Chris H\/Comet 5th<\/sup> and Rick & Lottie\/RS200 6th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the 35 minute gun the finishing order was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Newton; 2nd<\/sup> Richard S; 3rd<\/sup> Nigel; 4th<\/sup> Steve; 5th<\/sup> Rick & Lottie; 6th<\/sup> Chris H; 7th<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T\/470; 8th<\/sup> Aileen\/Comet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Frances who sailed well in her Topper in the Pursuit Race decided to give this one a miss. Chris H\/Comet was first back across the line just ahead of Newton\/Solo and Steve\/Blaze. Alessandro & Mike T\/470 were through in 4th<\/sup> place about 20 seconds ahead of Aileen\/Comet. Richard S\/Laser, Rick & Lottie\/RS200 and Nigel\/Laser crossed the line in a close group battling for 6th<\/sup> place. Next along was William\/Topper with Adrian\/Avon Scow and they were followed by Becky in a Pico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The front of the fleet had split into two groups of three with Chris H, Newton and Steve in the first trio and Alessandro & Mike T, Aileen and Richards S in the second trio. Rick & Lottie had retired leaving Nigel in a somewhat lonely 7th<\/sup> place. Adrian had managed to get past William at the back of the fleet. Becky received the hooter at then end of her second lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No change in the first four, but Richard had passed Aileen to move up to 5th<\/sup> place. William and Adrian were finished at the end of this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris H retained his lead to finish in 1st<\/sup> place, but Steve had passed Newton to take 2nd<\/sup> and Richard had passed Alessandro & Mike T to nick 4th<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> Steve; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Richard S; 5th<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T; 6th<\/sup> Aileen; 7th<\/sup> Nigel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this changes to \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> Aileen (the Comets are at it again!), 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Richard S; 5th<\/sup> Steve; 6th<\/sup> Nigel; 7th<\/sup> Alessandro & Mike T; 8th<\/sup> Adrian<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Adrian Frost and the race team of Issy Jenkins and Richard Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were no other names on the race sheet so I assume that they manged on their own!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There was a light 6 mph wind from the NNE and just 11 starters this morning.
