Yet another frisky morning with a gusty 14 mph NE wind. Simon B used a Tektona start with a first beat to 7P, 4P, 1S, 2S, 3S.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
There were 21 starters this morning, although Rod B and Mike A disappeared on the first lap after capsizing and losing tiller or rudder and centreboard in Mike’s case!<\/span><\/div>\n
First back through the start was David C followed by Jon C and Dave L, all in Lasers then came Newton & Ellen (RS200) and Ian C (Supernova). In 6th<\/sup> place was Hugh (Radial) then James and Mark in Lasers followed by Nev & Sally (Leader). Hadey (4.7) was going steadily in 10th<\/sup> place and she was being chased by Curtis (Radial), Alistair (Laser) and Sylvia (Radial). Behind them Peter S (Byte) was enjoying a battle with Dean & Nick (Vago) and William (Topper). At the back of the fleet Chris H (Comet) and Rick (Laser) were in close company and behind them Adrian was finding his Vago a handful sailing single handed in the gusty conditions.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
David and Jon still led after two laps but Newton & Ellen had managed to get past Dave L.<\/span><\/div>\n
Rick and Adrian both retired on this lap, James and Mark had made up some ground and crossed the line together in 5th<\/sup> place. Hadey, Curtis and Sylvia all gained one place, but the rest of the fleet maintained position. <\/span><\/div>\n
William, Chris and Dean & Nick opted to finish after two laps, but not sure if they retired or received the gun! <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the final lap, the first four crossed the line in the same order as the previous lap, Ian had moved up to 5th<\/sup> pushing Mark down to 6th<\/sup> with James 7th<\/sup> and Hadey 8th<\/sup>. Curtis managed to save face by passing Hugh on the last lap and to make matters worse for Hugh, Sylvia just pipped him on the line!  Nev & Sally and Alistair (despite a last lap capsize) came home safely with Peter S some way behind taking the lantern rouge.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> David C; 2nd<\/sup> Jon; 3rd<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 4th<\/sup>; Dave L; 5th<\/sup> Ian C; 6th<\/sup> Mark.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
 On handicap the first two should remain the same, but it looks as if Hadey could take 3rd<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Simon B and the OOD team, Ros, Paul R, Dave I and Roland L (again).<\/span><\/div>\n
