 With an 8mph SW wind, Chris A set the most popular course of the moment \u2013 4, 2, 5, 8, 6, 7 and back through the start.<\/span> <\/p>\n
There were 19 starters including a returning Colin H in the Zebra boat, actually a Hartley H2 but with fantastic black and white striped sails.<\/span><\/div>\n
First time back through the start line and Karen (Laser) was in the lead with Newton & Ellen (RS200) 2nd<\/sup>, David C (Laser) 3rd<\/sup> and Jon (Laser) 4th<\/sup>. Adrian came through next in his Rooster closely followed by the Lasers of Curtis and Mark B. Roland & Ryan seemed to be more in control of their National 12 as they came through in 8th<\/sup> place. Sally & Stuart (Leader) were battling again with Mike A and Hugh (Byte) joined in the fun.<\/span><\/div>\n
Unfortunately Colin H following David M (Laser) was misled by David’s feint towards 6 (before returning to round 8). Colin carried on to round 6 missing 8 out. It is not clear whether Colin continued to do this on every lap but he did continue to the finish before being disqualified !<\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap Newton & Ellen had nipped in front of Karen, but the next three boats were in the same order. Roland & Ryan had moved up a place by passing Mark. Sally & Stuart had got ahead of Mike, but Hugh had to retire with a broken mainsheet pulley which moved the boats behind him up a place.<\/span><\/div>\n
The third lap saw Karen back in the lead with Adrian and Curtis gaining a place to 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> respectively and Roland & Ryan gained another place to 6th<\/sup>and Dave L gained a place to 8th<\/sup>. James P (Laser) had caught Mike who was desperately trying to keep him at bay. JW and Paul W in the Club Lasers were having a good battle with Hadey in her 4.7 and William (Topper) was trying to stay ahead of David M.<\/span><\/div>\n
After four laps the first 10 boats were holding station with the exception of Roland & Ryan who had passed Curtis (just).Further back James P and Hadey had both gained a place and William was given the finish gun.<\/span><\/div>\n
The last lap saw no changes in position other than Curtis getting back in front of Roland & Ryan.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions were \u2013 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> David C; 4th<\/sup> Adrian; 5th<\/sup> Curtis; 6th<\/sup> Roland & Ryan<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks to Chris A and the OOD team of Wendy P, Helen J, Oswin R, Dean F and Richard H.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
