Another lovely sunny evening with a 9 mph WSW wind. SOOD Mark set the first mark as 5, then 9, A, and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were 13 starters including young O Wrobel out in his 4.7 joining the racing fleet for the first time. (I think it might have been Oliver but no name on the Declaration Sheet \u2013 then again none of the following signed in either \u2013 Emily, Cecilia, Alessandro and worst of all Steve & Rick and Newton & Sam \u2013 the latter four all veterans who instead of standing on the podium might find themselves on the naughty step!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First back across the line was Darren\/Laser over a minute ahead of Newton & Sam\/RS200, but they were only 20 seconds ahead of Ralph in 3rd<\/sup> place. Emily\/Radial came through in 4th<\/sup> closely followed by Chris H\/and Aileen in their Comets. Steve & Rick\/RS200 were 7th<\/sup> well ahead of Paul H\/Laser and Sally and Mike T in their Comets. Bringing up the rear of the fleet were Alessandro\/Aero, Wrobel\/4.7 and Cecilia\/Radial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No change in the leading four, although Ralph was now on Newton & Sam\u2019s transom and Steve & Rick were up to 5th<\/sup> place. Then there was a quartet of Comets with Aileen leading Chris, Mike T and Sally, but Paul H in his Laser was ahead of Sally spoiling the line astern of Comets!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 4.7 received the hooter at the end of the lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lap 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the finish Darren was clear ahead and Ralph had taken 2nd<\/sup> place from Newton & Sam with Emily still in 4th<\/sup>. Chris H had got his skates on and crossed in 5th<\/sup> place regaining the bragging rights in the Comet battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Darren; 2nd<\/sup> Ralph; 3rd<\/sup> Newton & Sam; 4th<\/sup> Emily; 5th<\/sup> Chris H; 6th<\/sup> Steve & Rick<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Darren\/Laser; 2nd<\/sup> Ralph\/Laser; 3rd<\/sup> Emily\/Radial; 4th Newton & Sam\/RS200; 5th<\/sup> Chris H\/Comet; 6th<\/sup> Aileen\/Comet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Mark Buckle and the race team of Chris Beresford, Patrick Crowley, Robert Wrobel, Steve Chege and Steve Mann. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another lovely sunny evening with a 9 mph WSW wind.
