As for last week another WSW wind, but not quite as strong at about 11 mph. SOOD Mark set a course of A, 9, 5, 7 and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were 14 starters and welcome to Nathan in his GP14. First back across the line was Karen\/Laser well ahead of Rick & Steve\/RS200, who were pleased to be leading the other RS200 of Newton & Hattie! In between these in 3rd<\/sup> place was Mike T out in a Comet again! Roland\/Solo was in 5th<\/sup> just ahead of Darren\/Laser and Dave & Ann\/Leader. Alessandro\/Aero 9 was next along then Nigel, Jeremy and Paul H all in Lasers ahead of Sally\/Comet, Nathan\/GP14 and Chris & Carol\/420. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No change in the first two, but Darren was up to 3rd<\/sup> place. Other movers up the board were Alessandro, Nigel and Paul H all up one place to 7th<\/sup>, 8th <\/sup>and 11th respectively. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Karen still led and Newton & Hattie gained three places to cross the line in 2nd<\/sup> place. Rick & Steve were down to 3rd<\/sup> with Roland pipping Darren across the line by just one second in the battle for 4th<\/sup> place. Mike T after dropping six places on the previous lap regained three of those to cross in 6th<\/sup> place. Further down the fleet Paul H gained another place by getting past Jeremy and Chris & Carol passed Nathan. Paul, Jeremy, Sally, Chris & Carol and Nathan were all finished at the end of this lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 4 (and last)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Karen had cleared away at the front and crossed the line five minutes ahead of Rick & Steve who had regained 2nd<\/sup> place from Newton & Hattie in the RS200 battle (we will never hear the last of this!). Darren repipped (if there is such a thing!) Roland to cross in 4th<\/sup> place and Dave & Ann repassed Mike T and Nigel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Rick & Steve; 3rd<\/sup> Newton & Hattie; 4th <\/sup>Darren; 5th<\/sup> Roland; 6th<\/sup> Dave & Ann<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this changes to \u2013 1st<\/sup> Karen\/Laser; 2nd<\/sup> Mike T\/Comet; 3rd<\/sup> Roland\/Solo; 4th<\/sup> Rick & Steve\/RS200; 5th<\/sup> Dave & Ann\/Leader; 6th<\/sup> Newton & Hattie\/RS200 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Five different boats in the first six!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Mark and the race team of Angus, Clare, John, Steve and Rhys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As for last week another WSW wind, but not quite as strong at about 11 mph.
