It was a pleasant mid- October morning with a light wind which increased slightly as the race went on.<\/span><\/div>\n
Monica had arrived back from her voyages, obviously refreshed and wearing a rather fetching tartan outfit (Royal Stuart I think).<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Pursuit Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
There were 20 starters including our resident Mirror fleet of Pat and Gordon.<\/span><\/div>\n
First back through the line was Chris (Comet) followed by Curtis who was giving his Otter an airing (that’s his boat not his pet !), Hadey (4.7) was 3rd<\/sup>, Newton &Ellen (RS200) 4th<\/sup>, Mike A (Lightning) 5th<\/sup> and Joe (Topper) 6th<\/sup>. Pat in her Mirror was going well in 7th<\/sup> place but the Lasers were fast approaching.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the gun the final positions were 1st<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 2nd<\/sup> Chris; 3rd<\/sup> Hadey; 4th<\/sup> Roland & Ryan (National 12); 5th<\/sup> Sylvia (Laser) and 6th<\/sup> Jon (Laser).<\/span><\/div>\n

Handicap<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Pat and Gordon decided it was time for a cup of tea, so 18 set off at the start of the handicap race.<\/span><\/div>\n
Mark B (Laser) was first through the line at the end of the first lap closely followed by Jon, David C (Laser), Roland & Ryan, Adrian (Rooster) and David M (Laser). <\/span><\/div>\n
By the second lap Jon had taken the lead and Roland & Ryan had moved up to 2nd<\/sup> pushing Mark down to 3rd<\/sup>.  In mid-fleet Dave L, Sylvia, Hugh and James were having a good battle in their Lasers (well in Hugh’s case it was Dad’s Laser, hence the appearance of the Otter). Behind them Rick (Laser), Chris and Mike A were also having a close tussle and further back Hadey and Curtis were trying to catch Dean & Nick (Vago).<\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the third and last lap Ellen & Newton crossed the finish line in 1st<\/sup> place with Mark 2nd<\/sup>, Adrian 3rd<\/sup>, Roland & Ryan 4th<\/sup>, Jon 5th<\/sup> and Sylvia 6th<\/sup>. The other movers on this last lap were David M up two places to 8th<\/sup>, James up two to 9th<\/sup>, Chris up two to 13th <\/sup>and Curtis up two to 15th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap the significant changes were Jon up to 3rd<\/sup> ,Sylvia up to 4th<\/sup> and David C to 5th<\/sup> pushng Roland & Ryan down to 6th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
