It was a mild morning with a 10-12 mph SW wind and a good turn-out with 20 boats starting. Mike A set the first beat down to 4 then back to 9P, 5S, 8P, 6S, 7S and back through the start. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the first lap the first four boats were very close together, but Ian C (Supernova) just crossed the line ahead of Jon (Laser), Newton &Ellen (RS200) and Richard (Laser). Dave L (Laser) was slightly further back in 5th<\/sup> place and Mark B (Laser), trying to make up ground after a poor start, came through in 6th<\/sup> with James in another Laser 7th<\/sup> and David C (Laser) 8th<\/sup>. Roland S (Byte) was going well in 9th<\/sup> and having a good tussle with Curtis (Radial) and they were being chased by Hugh (Radial) and Neville & Sally (Leader). Rod (Laser) came through on his own in 13th<\/sup> place but behind him there was a good battle for 14th<\/sup> place between Hadey (4.7), Alistair S (Laser) and Adrian (Vago).<\/span><\/div>\n
Chris H (Comet) in 17th<\/sup> place was just clear of Rick (Laser) and further back William (Topper) had pulled slightly away from Mick G & Dave I in the Otter.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The second lap saw Newton & Ellen in the lead with Ian 2nd<\/sup> and Jon 3rd<\/sup>. The movers on this lap were David C gaining two places to 6th<\/sup>, Rod up two place to 11th<\/sup> and Rick up one place past Chris. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the third lap Ian was back in front pushing Newton & Ellen down to 2nd<\/sup> with Jon still 3rd<\/sup>. <\/span>David had moved up another two places to 4<\/span>th<\/sup>, but the Lasers of Richard, Dave L, Mark and James were not far behind and having a good race. Behind these Roland and Curtis were still together but being gradually caught by Rod. Hugh and Neville & Sally were still in close company and they were just ahead of a great battle taking place between Hadey, Alistair and Adrian. Further back Rick had manage to draw away from Chris and William and Mick G & Dave I received the finish gun at the end of this lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The fourth lap saw another change of leader with Newton & Ellen back in front and with a slight gap back to Ian in 2nd<\/sup> and then a bigger gap back to Jon who was still 3rd<\/sup> ahead of son David (let’s hear it for the Dads !). The other changes in position (at least in the right direction) were Rod up another two places to 9th<\/sup>, Alistair up one place <\/sup>by passing Hadey and Adrian up two places by passing Hadey and Alistair. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Newton & Ellen maintained their lead and crossed the finish line comfortably ahead of Ian who in turn was well clear of Jon in 3rd<\/sup>. The only other changes in position on this final lap were  Adrian up another place by passing Nev & Sally and Hadey by repassing Alistair. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
A good morning’s racing with a nice fresh breeze and good close racing all through the fleet.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 2nd<\/sup> Ian; 3rd<\/sup> Jon; 4th<\/sup> David; 5th<\/sup> Richard; 6th<\/sup> Dave L.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap Roland in his Byte should crash the leader board taking 3rd<\/sup> place from Jon.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
We were a bit light on OODs with only Mike A and Gary B turning out  from those on the duty roster so thanks to them, but especial thanks to Roland L who once again stepped in to help out. <\/span><\/div>\n
