Tonight was overcast with a NE wind about 13-14 mph and a bit chilly. Steve S used an Island start with a first beat to 5, then 9s, 4p, 2p and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
There were only 11 starters probably because of the uncertain weather.  David C (Laser) was first back through the line on the first lap and for every lap after. Newton (Solo) came through in 2nd<\/sup> with Ellen (Radial) 3rd<\/sup> and they battled together for the whole of the race. Dave & Ann (Leader) were 4th<\/sup> but only just ahead of Sally & Mike in their Leader. Julian W (Solo) was 6th<\/sup> with Rod (Laser) 7th<\/sup>  and then came Mike A (Lightning), Dean & Nick (Vago) and Nev & Bob (Leader) with Richard H (Laser) bringing up the rear.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap the first three remained the same but Rod had moved up to 4th<\/sup> and Sally & Mike had got past Dave & Ann to move to 5th<\/sup> and Richard H had moved up three places to 8th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
On the third lap Ellen had got past Newton to move up to 2nd<\/sup> and Richard H had made up another two places to 6th<\/sup>. At the back of the fleet the battle between Mike A, Dean & Nick and Nev & Bob continued with them changing places every lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
There was no change in the leading five boats at the end of the fourth lap, but Dave & Ann had retaken 6th<\/sup> place from Richard.<\/span><\/div>\n
Lap 5 was the only lap in which there were no changes in position and the only changes on the last lap were Richard repassing Dave & Ann and Nev & Bob sneaking past Mike A right on the finish line.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> David C; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Rod; 5th<\/sup> Sally & Mike; 6th<\/sup> Richard H<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On handicap the first three should remain the same, but Sally & Mike will leapfrog Rod and Dave & Ann should displace Richard H from 6th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks to Steve S and the OOD team of Simon B and John C.<\/span><\/div>\n
