With an ENE wind varying from 8-12 mph, SOOD Rick set a course of D (near No 1), 4, A (middle of lake), C (between 3 and 4 on the buoy line) and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a good turnout of 20 and first back across the line was Darren\/Laser followed 30 seconds later by Mark\/Laser. Newton & Sam\/RS200 were through in 3rd<\/sup> place with Dave & Ann\/Leader in 4th<\/sup> just ahead of Roland in his Solo. Not far behind them were Karen and Ralph in Lasers followed by Alessandro & Matt\/470. Then there was a gap of two minutes before Paul H\/Laser crossed in 9th<\/sup> place and he was about one minute ahead of Nigel\/Radial in 10th<\/sup>. Mike T and Aileen in Comets crossed the line together battling for 11th<\/sup> place with Emily\/Radial close behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A minute later Mike Todd\/Laser (good to see you back on the water Mike) and Sally\/Comet were split by only three seconds. Then came the scrap at the back of he fleet with Ron\/Mirror leading Cecilia\/Radial (good to see you on the water as well), Rich\/Comet Duo, Russell\/Mirror (another welcome addition to the Mirror racing fleet!) followed by yet another Mirror \u00a0Sail No 3518 (but no name on the Declaration Sheet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll soon have more Mirrors than the Palace of Versailles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Same first two, but Karen and Ralph were up to 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> and Emily gained five places to move to 8th<\/sup>. Mike T\/Comet was up two to 9th<\/sup> and further back Rich gained a place by passing Cecilia. Mirror 3518 received the gun at the end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Darren still led but Karen was now up to 2nd<\/sup> place pushing Mark down to 3rd<\/sup>. No change with 4th<\/sup> to 9th<\/sup> positions but Alessandro & Matt had regained two places to move to 10th<\/sup>. Nigel and Paul H continued their battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 4 (and last)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No change in the first five positions but Newton & Sam passed Dave & Ann to take 6th<\/sup> place and Aileen gained a place by passing Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was 1st<\/sup> Darren; 2nd<\/sup> Karen; 3rd<\/sup> Mark; 4th<\/sup> Ralph; 5th<\/sup> Roland; 6th<\/sup> Newton & Sam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the first five retain their positions but Dave & Ann take 6th<\/sup> place away from Newton & Sam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Rick and the race team of Angus Nairn, Claire Davies, Hadey Lines and Steve Sharp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With an ENE wind varying from 8-12 mph, SOOD Rick set a course of D (near No 1), 4, A (middle of lake), C (between 3 and 4 on the buoy line) and back through the start.
