With the wind veering around and anything from 5 mph to 10 mph, Paul R decided to set an unusual start line using the pin and a rescue boat as a Committee Boat. The first mark was X which was moved from the buoy line to somewhere NW of No 8 just before the start. The next mark was 8, then up to 5, back down to 9 and then up to an Orange buoy positioned between 3 and 4 and then there was a long (boring) run back to 7 and the start line.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There were 23 starters including brave Jemima in her Oppie and the three Toppers of Edward, Joe and William (good to see the young sailors joining in the racing).<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the start a number of boats set off for the buoy line not realising the first mark had been moved !<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
David C (Laser) was first back through the line followed by the Lasers of Jon and Sylvia, then Ian C (Supernova) and the Lasers of Karen, Dave L and James P. Chris A came through next just in front of Newton, both in Solos with Sally & Stuart (Leader) slightly further back. Jemima decided to retire on this lap, but well done to her for turning out.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
By the second lap Ian had moved into the lead and Karen had moved up to 2nd<\/sup>, Newton had moved up two places to 7th<\/sup>. Paul H (Supernova) had got past Sally & Stuart, but Steve S (Laser) had passed both of them.  <\/span>Luke (Radial) was trying to catch Sally & Stuart with Chris S (Laser) and Julian (Solo) trying to catch Luke. Behind them Neville & Anne L (good to see Anne out on the water) in the Leader were having a good battle with Mike A (Lightning).  <\/span>David M (Radial) was plugging along behind them and Angela (Comet Duo) was trying to stay ahead of the Topper fleet. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Angela and the Toppers (sounds like a 70s pop group) received the gun at the end of this lap. In the Topper battle Joe just beat Edward with William in 3rd<\/sup> place.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ian crossed the finish line in 1st<\/sup> but David and Sylvia (just) managed to get ahead of Karen. The final positions on the water were 1st<\/sup> Ian; 2nd<\/sup> David C; 3rd<\/sup> Sylvia; 4th<\/sup> Karen; 5th<\/sup> Dave L; 6th<\/sup> Newton, but on handicap Newton should take the win with David C taking 2nd<\/sup> pushing Ian down to 3rd<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks to Paul and the OOD Team Mike C, Ellen, Sophie and Clare.<\/span><\/div>\n
