Another pleasant morning, but no wind ! Probably why there were only 9 starters.<\/span><\/div>\n
Richard S set a short <\/span>course of 6P 8S 5S 7P with the start line from the club house. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Pursuit Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
For the pursuit race the marks 5 and 7 became irrelevant as the leaders rounded 6 and then only got half way to 8 when the 35 mins was up ! <\/span><\/div>\n
David M (Laser) was over the line at the start and had got half way to the first mark before he realised and turned back to restart, just what you want when there is no wind.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions were <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Roland & Ryan (National 12); 2nd<\/sup> Eddie B (Laser); 3rd<\/sup> Newton & Ellen (RS 200); 4th<\/sup> Mark B (Laser); 5th <\/sup>Adrian (Rooster); 6th<\/sup> Karen (Laser).<\/span><\/div>\n
First time for a while that Eddie has been on the podium, but have to take them when you can !<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Handicap<\/span><\/b>  <\/span><\/div>\n
The wind improved very slightly for the second race, but even so Mark could not take any more excitement and decided to sit this one out.. Ellen & Newton got a good start at the far end of the line with slightly more wind and were nearly a leg ahead by the time they got to the second mark. Roland & Ryan were going well in second and reduced the gap by half by the end of the first lap. David M came through in third with Karen fourth, Adrian fifth and RSC 21 (Not signed on) in sixth place.<\/span><\/div>\n
Rick (Laser) and Eddie became becalmed and decided enough was enough.<\/span><\/div>\n
A big wind shift at the start of the second lap allowed Roland & Ryan to catch Ellen & Newton before the wind disappeared again and they passed Ellen & Newton on the way to 8. With very little wind Richard sensibly set a finish line at 5 after just 1 and half laps. David made up for his first race and finished a creditable third, which could be his first podium finish.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions were \u2013<\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Roland & Ryan; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen & Newton; 3rd<\/sup> David M; 4th<\/sup> Karen; 5th<\/sup> Adrian; 6th<\/sup> RSC 21<\/span><\/div>\n
 The corrected times on handicap were the same as the finishing order.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Richard S and the OOD Team James, Chris B, Phil M and Nigel J.<\/span><\/div>\n
