 Another windy Sunday morning with a SW wind about 13 mph but stronger gusts coming through (usually just when you did not want them !)<\/span> <\/p>\n
Richard S set a long beat down to a gybe round 3, back to 2 and a gybe up to 4, another gybe round 4 then off on a run to 8 with yes another gybe round 8 ! Up to 6 and the usual gybe round 6 and finally round 7 (only sheeting in !) before going back through the start line.<\/span><\/div>\n
Steve P and Andy Burr (welcome back Andy) seemed to be doing a major refit to the 505 on its side on the bank and David M seemed to have acquired a new sail. Karen and Sylvia opted for Radial rigs but sailed off the full handicap (probably a wise choice \u2013 the Radials for them and the full handicap for everyone else). Mike C had chosen a nice calm morning to try an outing in Paul H’s Supernova ! Adrian went for his Vago, when any wise man would have gone for his Laser (without the Rooster sail).<\/span><\/div>\n
There were 20 starters for the Pursuit Race and Chris A (Solo) was first back through the start line. This makes a change from William in his Topper but the stronger winds enabled some of the other boats to catch him earlier. The high wind maestro Jon (Laser) came through in 2nd<\/sup> with son David C (Laser) in 3rd <\/sup>and John W (Laser) in 4th<\/sup>. James P (Laser) was going well in 5th<\/sup> and had just caught and passed Hugh in his Byte. Further down the fleet it was good to see yet another new entry into the series with Chris M in his Laser. Karen disappeared somewhere on this lap but not sure what happened to her.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the finish gun Jon had moved into 1st<\/sup> with David 2nd<\/sup> and Dave L (Laser) 3rd<\/sup>, Ian C (Supernova) 4th<\/sup>, James P 5th<\/sup> and John W 6th<\/sup>. There were only two double handers out this morning and Ellen & Newton (RS200) finished 7th<\/sup> and Mike & Sally (Leader) were 11th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
There were 18 starters for the following Handicap Race, it may have been 19, but not sure if Hugh retired before the start or shortly afterwards. Mike & Sally had decided one race was enough, but Sally joined the rescue boat teams. Steve & Andy decided to join the race eventually but not before making a thorough recce of the rowing strip and giving everyone else a lap start. Mike A (Laser) capsized just before the 5 minute gun but did make the start (after a fashion).<\/span><\/div>\n
Newton & Ellen came back through the start line in 1st<\/sup> place with Ian C 2nd<\/sup>, then the Laser train led by Jon followed by Karen, David C, James P, Dave L, Sylvia, John W, Mike A and Curtis, then finally another boat – the Solo of Chris A. Then there was Chris M in yet another Laser, but a bit of variety behind him with Peter S (Byte), Mike C (Supernova), Adrian (Vago) and nearly a lap later Steve & Andy in the coxless pairs. William decide to retire before the end of the lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
By the second lap Ian had just taken the lead from Newton & Ellen. The other movers on this lap were Dave L up two places to 5th<\/sup>, and Mike A, Chris A, Chris M, Peter S, Mike C and Adrian all up one place. John W got caught by a gust on the way down to 2 and capsized, later to retire. Mike C, Adrian and Steve & Andy received the finish gun at the end of this lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the finish the first three boats had maintained their positions, but Dave L had moved up another place to 4th<\/sup>. Chris A moved up one place to 9th,<\/sup> Curtis moved up two places to 10th<\/sup> and Peter S moved up a place to 12th<\/sup>. Mike A rounded 6 and then capsized gybing on the way to 7.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were 1st<\/sup> Ian; 2nd<\/sup>, Newton & Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> Jon; 4th<\/sup> Dave L; 5th<\/sup> Karen; 6th<\/sup> David C.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks to Richard S and the OOD Team of Jessica W, Ian S, Dean, John W and Sally.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
