There was a 9 mph ENE wind, although the direction and strength varied considerably during the morning, but it was a beautiful warm sunny morning. Rod B set a first beat to Op (between 5 and 6, but in the middle of the lake) then 5p, 1s, 3s and back through the start (there may be a mark missed out there, but the course was not written down on the race record sheet and I have trouble remembering the course even when I have written it down!)<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Pursuit Race
<\/span><\/b>There were 13 starters and it was good to see Pat and Gordon out in their Mirrors. They should have led the way off from the start, but I am not sure that they actually did.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
By the end of the first lap Ellen & Scott (RS200) and James P (Laser) had caught all the early starters and led the way across the line, but William was hanging on to 3rd<\/sup> place in his Topper. Adrian (Rooster) the last man away had come through to 4th<\/sup> with Chris H (Comet) 5th<\/sup> and Chris A (Solo) 6th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the gun the first two had kept their places but Adrian had moved up to 3rd <\/sup>and Chris H up to 4th. <\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions were 1st<\/sup> Ellen &Scott; 2nd<\/sup> James; 3rd<\/sup> Adrian; 4th <\/sup>Chris H; 5th<\/sup> Mike A and 6th<\/sup> Rick.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Handicap Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Pat and Gordon had decided to go for a cup of tea, but Jess B joined the fleet making 12 starters.<\/span><\/div>\n
Ellen & Scott were first back through the start line followed by Adrian and James (seems to be a pattern developing here!) Jess B was 4th<\/sup>, Rick 5th<\/sup>, Gareth 6th<\/sup>, Alistair S 7th<\/sup> and Steve P 8th<\/sup>, all in Lasers.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap the positions of the first two boats were unchanged, but Jess had got past James to move up to 3rd<\/sup>. Mike A (Lightning) had moved up four places to 5th<\/sup> and Steve P was up two places to 6th<\/sup>. William received the finish gun at the end of this lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
On the last lap James repassed Jess to take 3rd<\/sup> across the line, Steve P moved up another place to 5th<\/sup> and Rick was up two places to 6th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Ellen & Scott; 2nd<\/sup> Adrian; 3rd<\/sup> James; 4th<\/sup> Jess; 5th<\/sup>; Steve P and 6th<\/sup> Rick.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap James and Jess should move up to 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> with Chris H moving up to 4th <\/sup>and <\/sup>Mike A to 5th<\/sup> pushing Adrian back to 6th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
