<\/div>\n
The Summer Series is well under way even if the Summer weather has not quite caught up \u2013 a bit like this Jolly Sailor ! This year there is a short pursuit race immediately followed by a normal handicap race.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first Sunday 7th<\/sup> June saw a light wind and a fleet of 24 boats set out in in the first Pursuit Race.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of the first lap Mick G in his Otter came through the line in 1st place followed by Hadey (4.7) 2nd<\/sup> and Pat in her Mirror 3rd<\/sup>. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mick and Hadey were never caught and at the gun were still 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup>, but David C (Laser) had moved up to take 3rd<\/sup> place. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This may be the first victory for an Otter at RSC so well done Mick.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the following three lap handicap race it was Paul R (Aero) who crossed the finish line in 1st place followed by Newton & Ellen (RS200) and Richards S 3rd<\/sup> in his Laser.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Mark and his OOD team for coping with the new format successfully.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The second Sunday 14th<\/sup> June saw more wind, but a much reduced fleet of 12 boats.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the Pursuit race strangely the first two boats through the line at the end of the first lap again stayed ahead right to the finish, these were Newton & Ellen (RS200) in 1st<\/sup> place and Richard S (Laser) in 2nd<\/sup> place. On the first lap Mike C (Solo) was 3rd<\/sup>, but he was passed by Jon (Laser) before the finish gun.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the following Handicap Race Newton & Ellen took the honours again by crossing the line in 1st<\/sup> place but this time Jon was 2nd<\/sup> with Richard 3rd<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Ian C and his OOD team, Roland L, Roy T and Paul B.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So after two races the leaders in the Summer Pursuit Series are \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Richard S \u2013 Laser; 2nd<\/sup> Mick G \u2013 Otter; 3rd<\/sup> Hadey -4.7<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The leaders in the Handicap Series are \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Newton & Ellen – RS200; 2nd<\/sup> Jon \u2013 Laser; 3rd<\/sup> Richard S – Laser <\/span><\/div>\n
