Tonight there was a light and variable wind from the NW and we welcomed Alex in a Laser, Theo in a Solo and James M in a 4.7 to the racing fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newton & Emily\/RS200 were first back across the line well ahead of Mike T\/Comet, who was clear of the double handers of Alessandro & Matt\/470 and Rick & Steve\/RS200 who crossed the line together battling for 3rd<\/sup> place. Just as well Mike was clear ahead or it would have been like getting caught by a tanker in the Channel! Some 30 seconds later Jamie H\/Laser crossed in 5th<\/sup> place closely followed by Chris K\/Radial and Dave & Ann\/Leader, then about one minute elapsed before Ron cam along in his Miracle. It was nearly three minutes before Jeremy\/Laser and Sally\/Comet crossed in 9th<\/sup> and 10th<\/sup> places and then another minute before Alex\/Laser, Theo\/Solo and Paul H\/Laser came along with James M\/4.7 bringing up the rear of the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the second lap Rick & Steve moved up to 2nd<\/sup> place, Chris K up to 5th<\/sup> and Dave & Ann up to 6th<\/sup>. Further back Alex passed Sally and Paul passed Theo to move up to 11th<\/sup> and 12th<\/sup>. Ron, Jeremy, Alex, Sally, Paul, Theo and James M all received the finish hooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the third and last lap Newton & Emily crossed the line in 1st<\/sup> place well ahead of the rest of the fleet. Dave & Ann gained two places to finish in 4th<\/sup> spot, which meant that the first four boats across the line were all double handers. It is a long time since this last happened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Newton & Emily; 2nd<\/sup> Rick & Steve; 3rd<\/sup> Alessandro & Matt; 4th<\/sup> Dave 7 Ann; 5th<\/sup> Chris K; 6th<\/sup> Mike T; 7th<\/sup> Jamie H<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time the order becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Newton & Emily\/RS200; 2nd<\/sup> Mike T\/Comet; 3rd<\/sup> Dave & Ann\/Leader; 4th<\/sup> Chris K\/Radial; 5th<\/sup> Rick & Steve\/RS200; 6th<\/sup> Jamie H\/Laser <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to SOOD Darren Ballard and the race team of Aileen Moore, Mark Buckle and Steve Mann<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tonight there was a light and variable wind from the NW and we welcomed Alex in a Laser, Theo in a Solo and James M in a 4.7 to the racing fleet.
