Welcome to Tom Cann joining the race fleet for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pursuit Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There was not a great deal of overtaking throughout the 35 minute race and the final order was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H\/Comet; 2nd<\/sup> Roland\/Solo; 3rd<\/sup> Karen\/Laser; 4th<\/sup> Newton\/Solo; 5th<\/sup> Mike T & Alessandro\/Enterprise; 6th<\/sup> Alistair\/Laser; 7th<\/sup> Nigel\/Laser 8th<\/sup> Tom\/Laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handicap Race<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For this second race Adrian elongated the course to C, 4, 2, 5 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Karen was first back across the line, but in the light wind she was going to have to work hard to get far enough ahead of the slower handicap boats to take the overall victory. The Solos of Newton and Roland crossed in 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> places with Chris H just ahead of Alistair in the battle (perhaps a gentle struggle in these conditions) for 4th <\/sup>place. Mike T & Alessandro were on their own in 6th<\/sup> spot with Tom just ahead of Nigel in 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In an exciting end to the second lap, Newton crossed the line just two second ahead of Karen! Mike T & Alessandro had glided up to 3rd<\/sup> place with everyone else either maintaining station or losing ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Newton manged to stay ahead on the last lap to cross the line in 1st<\/sup> place with Karen in 2nd<\/sup> place. Behind them the fleet resorted to their first lap positions with Roland regaining 3rd<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Newton; 2nd<\/sup> Karen; 3rd<\/sup> Roland; 4th<\/sup> Chris H; 5th<\/sup> Alistair; 6th<\/sup> Mike T & Alessandro; 7th<\/sup> Tom; 8th<\/sup> Nigel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Chris H; 2nd<\/sup> Newton; 3rd<\/sup> Roland; 4th<\/sup> Karen; 5th<\/sup> Mike T & Alessandro; 6th<\/sup> Alistair<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Adrian Frost and the race team of Chris Meunier, Rich Fisher, Steve Mann and Tamsin Pagella.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was a warm sunny morning with a light wind and SOOD Adrian F set a box course down the West end, C, 4, B, 2.
