The forecast was for a 12 mph SW wind, but it was actually a bit friskier than that for the 17 starters on Sunday.  <\/span>James P set the first beat to 5, down to 9, back up to 4 on the buoy line then a brisk reach to 2 then up to 3, a long run to 7 and back through the start,<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
In the Pursuit Race as usual William in his Topper was first back through the start line followed by Newton & Ellen in the RS200 and then Dave P (Laser). Paul R (Aero) was 4th<\/sup> followed by the five Lasers of Jon, Karen, Steve S, Richard S and Mike A. Next through the line was Mike C (Solo) pursued by three more Lasers helmed by Curtis, John W and Steve P. Then Roland & Ryan in a National 12 came through followed by Adrian (Vago) and Alistair S (Laser).<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the finish gun Newton & Ellen had taken the lead with Paul 2nd<\/sup> and Jon 3rd<\/sup>.  <\/span>Most other boats had maintained position but Steve S had moved up three places to 4th<\/sup>. Mike A thought he had heard a premature finish gun and started messing about and promptly capsized, so actually finished the race on his side! Mike C was not too pleased as Mike A had told him that the gun had gone, otherwise Mike C reckoned he would have caught most of the boats ahead of him ! (Is that true?)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dean J in his Vago started the race but disappeared somewhere on the first lap. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Final positions were 1st<\/sup> Newton & Ellen RS200; 2nd<\/sup> Paul R Aero; 3rd<\/sup> Jon Laser.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Pursuit Series leader is still Richard S but he is now being pressed by Jon.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the Handicap Race the leaders at the end of the first lap were Newton & Ellen with Paul R 2nd<\/sup> and Jon 3rd<\/sup>.  <\/span>There was a close midfield scrap between the Lasers of Richard S, Steve S, Curtis and Steve P. Dave P retired on this lap, but not sure why.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The second lap saw the same two boats lead through the line and the biggest mover was Karen up from 10th<\/sup> to 6th<\/sup>. There were three retirements on this lap, Alistair S, Dean J and Roland & Ryan. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of the last lap Paul R had taken the lead with Newton & Ellen 2nd<\/sup> and Jon 3rd<\/sup> (looks a familiar podium !)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Roland on being asked what his boat was, replied a b***dy handful. There are quite a few of these regularly sail at RSC !<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Handicap Series leaders are Newton & Ellen and they are going well in the RS200 so could take some catching. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks to James P and the OOD team of Phil M, David M and Tony R.<\/span><\/div>\n
