A nice 10kt breeze for the South West for the penultimate rounds of the Cobley Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17 boats made it out for the start, with Paul W (Morbic) setting off first, <\/a>holding onto his lead for the first lap. Chris H (Comet) then took the lead, with Newton & Darren (Both Solo) hot on his heels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further back, James P & Hugh (Both ILCA7) were having a close battle with eachother, whilst in the midfleet, there were 8 boats all crossing the line within a minute of each other, led by Richard G in his 2000, who had replaced his usual crew with Sally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the finish gun, Newton finished first, with Chris H 2nd & Darren 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton’s win means he’s secured the Cobley Pursuit Trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All boats remained out for the Handicap race. There was a significant pin end bias, which meant every boat was there vying for position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugh arrived too early and had to bail out, whilst Richard G was over the line and had to go back. Newton, Darren & Rick (ILCA7) meanwhile got great starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve S (Blaze) led the way, with Mike & Al\u00e9 in 470 close behind. Rick was hot on their heels, leading a pack of Newton, Mark (Aero7), James P & Hugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, Chris H was fighting with the faster Lasers, whilst Darren had to retire due to a broken tiller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick unfortunately tumbled back down the order, Hugh caught up with Mike & Al\u00e9 but was unable to get past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve S crossed the line 1st, with Mike & Al\u00e9 2nd & Hugh 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Handicap, Newton took the win, with Chris H 2nd & Hugh 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will S still leads the Handicap series but is level on points with Newton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to Ralph and his team for running the racing on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race, there was Lentil & Bacon Soup, made by Ann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re back on Sunday for the final round of the Cobley Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
