<\/div>\n
Well last year was a bit of a wash out and this year was very similar, not much wind and a lot of rain !<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dave L was SOOD and if he set a course he didn’t record it for posterity !<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Only 10 hardy souls braved the elements, well 11 actually as Sylvia and Peter were sharing a boat for a change by sailing their new RS 200 (look out Ellen & Newton)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
David C (Laser) was first back through the line closely pursued by James (Laser) and Newton (Solo), then there was a gap back to Jon (Laser) and Adrian (Rooster \u2013 not a cock but a Laser with an oversize sail). Hadey (4.7) was next through in close company with Rick and David M in their Lasers.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Single handed Sally was in her Comet today and staying ahead of Sylvia and Peter who were trying to get to grips with the intricacies of their new RS 200.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
By the second lap Newton had taken the lead from David C and Jon and Adrian had moved up one place to 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup>. There were no other movers in the rest of the fleet.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the third lap Newton had increased his lead but there were no changes down to 6th<\/sup> place, but David M and Sally had got past Rick to move up to 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup> places. At the end of this lap with the wind dropping like a lead balloon David L took pity on the rearguard and finished David M, Sally, Rick and Sylvia & Peter. Not sure if Sylvia or Peter was helming and not sure that they knew either !<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meanwhile dramatically at the front Newton had sailed into a hole and David and Jon came steaming past to take line honours.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were 1st<\/sup> David C; 2nd<\/sup> Jon; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Adrian; 5th<\/sup> James and 6th<\/sup> Hadey, but Newton is likely to have the last laugh and take the cup on handicap.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Dave L and the OOD Team Bill, Jon M and Keith.<\/span><\/div>\n
