The usual jolly sailor was not so jolly tonight as he was home in bed with flu, but there was a good fleet of other jolly sailors and 22 started the race and it was good to see John H out in his Comet and young Ben out in his Topper.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First back through the start line was Ian C (Supernova) followed by the Lasers of Karen, Curtis and Sylvia. Newton (Solo) was next through in 5th<\/sup> place with Monica 6th<\/sup> and Hugh in a Radial 7th<\/sup>, then another three Lasers John, Dean and Mike T. In 11th<\/sup> place was Paul H in another Supernova followed by Peter S (Byte), Mike C (Solo), Ellen (Radial) and Chris A (Solo). Next came the battle of the Comets with Tracey leading the way in front of Angela & Paula (Duo) and John H. Chris S (Laser) was mixed up in this as was Leader 1254 (no names on the race sheet, but suspect it was Rob, Craig & Colum or any two from the these three !)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last but not least were Ben (Topper) and Roz & Paul getting to grips with the Laser 2000.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Second lap and the only change in the leader board was Curtis nipping in front of Sylvia to 3rd<\/sup> and Mike C moving up five places to 8th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of the third lap the first eight boats had maintained position, but Paul H had moved up to 9th<\/sup>, Peter S up to 10th<\/sup>, Ellen up to 12th <\/sup>and Tracey to 13th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last lap and Ian C crossed the line in 1st<\/sup> place with Karen 2nd<\/sup>, Curtis 3rd<\/sup>, Sylvia 4th<\/sup> and Newton 5th<\/sup>. Monica would have been 6th<\/sup>, but she was disqualified for being over the line at the start ! (that’s no cakes and tea for Steve S and he’s probably off the Christmas Card list).<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The significant movers on handicap were Karen who took the race win from Ian. Newton who took 4th<\/sup> place from Sylvia and Peter S who moved up to 6th<\/sup> place, also young Ben who moved up from 19th<\/sup> to 11th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks to Steve S and his OOD team, Catherine B, Nick J, Alistair S and Mark H. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
