Spring Pursuit 2 – March 20th<\/sup><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
With a NE wind about 10 mph, Dave L used a Tektona start with a first beat to 5P, then 4P, 9S, 3P, 2P and back through the start. There were 17 starters and it was good to see Roland S back on the water after his recent illness. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Early starter Chris H was first back through the line with Mick G (Otter) 2nd<\/sup>, Peter S (Byte) 3rd<\/sup> and fastest of the late starters Paul R (Aero) in 4th<\/sup>. Mike A (Lightning) was 5th<\/sup> but Ellen & Newton (RS200) were rapidly catching him. Peter R (Enterprise) was going steadily in 7th<\/sup> place with the first of the Lasers, Jon in 8th<\/sup>. Hadey (4.7) was 9th<\/sup> but under pressure from Roland & Ryan (National 12) who were just ahead of Steve S in the second of the Lasers. Dave I (Radial) was next through and he was about to be passed by David C (Laser) and then there were the late starters, Ian C (Supernova), Adrian (Rooster) and  Dean & Nick (Vago) <\/span><\/div>\n
Sally (Byte) had started, but decided to retire somewhere on the first lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the gun Paul R took the victory with Chris H 2nd<\/sup>, Roland & Ryan 3rd<\/sup>, Ellen & Newton 4th<\/sup>, Jon 5th<\/sup>  and Peter R 6th<\/sup>.   <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Spring Handicap 2 \u2013 March 20th<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Sally, Dave I, Mick G and Dean & Nick decided not to contest the second race, but Mike T (Laser) joined the fray, so there were 14 starters.<\/span><\/div>\n
Paul R continued his good form of the first race coming through in 1st<\/sup> at the end of the first lap. Newton & Ellen 2nd<\/sup> were some way back with David C 3rd<\/sup>, Jon 4th<\/sup>, Steve S 5th<\/sup> only just ahead of Ian C in 6th<\/sup> place. Adrian in 7th<\/sup> place was closely followed by Roland & Ryan. Then there was a gap back to Peter S, Chris H and Peter R who were having a good scrap and brining up the rear of the fleet were Mike A, Hadey and Mike T.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap Paul still led, but David C had moved up to 2nd<\/sup> and Ian up to 3rd<\/sup> pushing Newon & Ellen down to 4th<\/sup>. Adrian and Roland & Ryan moved up a place at the expense of Jon. Further back Peter R had moved up two places to 9th<\/sup> and Mike T had managed to get past Hadey.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Paul crossed the line in 1st<\/sup> place with Ian getting past David to take 2nd<\/sup>. Newton & Ellen were still 4th<\/sup> but Adrian and Roland & Ryan had passed Steve S to take 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> respectively.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Paul R; 2nd<\/sup> Ian C; 3rd<\/sup> David C; 4th<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 5th<\/sup> Adrain; 6th<\/sup> Roland & Ryan.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On Handicap  there will be some slight shuffling of the pack with 1st<\/sup> Paul; 2nd<\/sup> David C; I 3rd<\/sup> Ian; 4th<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 5th<\/sup> Chris H; 6th<\/sup> Steve S.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
