A pleasant morning with a 10 mph SW wind saw 22 starters set off at their allocated times, well apart from Karen who jumped the gun !<\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the first lap William came through in his usual 1st<\/sup> place in his Topper, followed by Gordon (Mirror), Rhys (Topper), John C (Topaz) and Peter S (Byte). The first of the Lasers was Hugh in 7th<\/sup> place with a Radial rig, then Richard S and Karen in full rig Lasers.<\/span><\/div>\n
Second lap and William was still out in front, but John C had moved up to 2nd<\/sup> with Gordon 3rd<\/sup> and Rhys 4th<\/sup>. Karen had moved up four places to 5th<\/sup> with Richard S 6th<\/sup>.  <\/span>Ian C (Supernova) had come though from 19th<\/sup> to 7th<\/sup> and Dave L had gained two places to 8th<\/sup>. Another rapid mover was Paul R (Aero) who had moved up from 17th<\/sup> to 9th<\/sup>. Gordon decided two laps was enough for him and retired.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the third lap the leader was John C, but Karen was gaining and was now in 2nd<\/sup> with Richard S in 3rd <\/sup>place and Ian up to 4th<\/sup> and Paul up to 5th<\/sup>. Jon C (Laser) had gained three places up to 7th<\/sup> and Curtis had gained a couple of places up to 9th<\/sup>. <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of lap four, Ian was leading with Karen 2nd<\/sup> and Paul was up to 3rd. <\/sup> <\/span>Richard S was 4th<\/sup> and Jon C had moved up to 5th<\/sup> with Newton & Ellen (Laser 2000) gaining five places up to 6th<\/sup>. Dave L and Curtis both gained a place to move up to 7th<\/sup> <\/span>and<\/span> 8th<\/sup> and Hugh also moved up one place to 9th<\/sup>. John W (Laser) and Dave P (laser) both moved up two places to 10th<\/sup> and 11th<\/sup>. Further back Steve P (Laser) and James P (Laser) also gained two places and Hadey after going backwards in the first few laps had found a new lease of life and was making ground again and Mike C (Solo) gained two places just before the gun.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the gun Paul had snatched victory from Ian and Karen had retired, at last being informed of her early start, allowing Jon up to 3rd<\/sup>, with Richard S 4th<\/sup>, Dave L 5th <\/sup> <\/span>and Newton & Ellen just pipping Curtis for 6th<\/sup> place. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
