It was a beautiful morning for the time of the year, sunny with a light 10 mph wind from SSW. Here comes Spring ? Curtis set the first beat down to 9S, then up to 4P, 1S, 2S, 5S, 8P, 6S and back through the start. There were 16 starters on a grand day for sailing.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Mark B was first back through the start line followed by David C, Jon, Steve S and Ross (good to see Ross back in the fleet) who were all in Lasers. Newton & Ellen (RS200) came through in 6th<\/sup> just ahead of Mike A (Laser) and Ian C (Supernova). Neville & Sally (Leader) came through in 9th<\/sup> place with Chris H (Comet), Adrian (Vago), James (Laser) and Dean & Nick (Vago) in close pursuit. Then there was slight gap back to Rick (Laser) and Hadey (4.7) with William gamely bringing up the rear in his Topper.<\/span><\/div>\n
The first two held their leading positions through all four laps to the end of the race. Behind them a good battle developed between Steve and Jon with Steve taking the 3rd<\/sup> spot at the end. There was another close tussle for 5th<\/sup> place with Ian, Ross and Newton & Ellen changing places at nearly every mark. In the middle of the fleet Mike A was a steady 8th<\/sup>, but chased all through the race by James and Neville & Sally.  Dean & Nick won the battle of the mini- Vago fleet  from Adrian, but Chris H was mixing it with them. Towards the back of the fleet Hadey had managed to draw out a slight lead on Rick. William kept going and received the gun at the end of the third lap. (William – time to talk to Dad about trading up to a Laser !)<\/span><\/div>\n
After finishing Mike A managed to capsize on his way back to the jetty !<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were 1st<\/sup> Mark; 2nd<\/sup> David C; 3rd<\/sup> Steve S; 4th<\/sup> Jon; 5th<\/sup> Ian; 6th<\/sup> Ross.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap the first four places should remain the same, but Chris H should move up to 5th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks to Curtis and the OOD team of Paul H, Roland L (again) and Nick T<\/span><\/div>\n
