 With a North wind about 8 mph, Peter R and team set a first beat up to 6, then down to 2, up to 4 then 5 down to 9 and back through the start. It was a tricky choice which end of the line to choose, the far pin had more wind, but the bank end was probably nearer to 6 in a straight line. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
19 boats started and it looked like the far pin was the better choice, although Newton & Ellen (Laser 2000) did well starting from the middle of the line.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

There was a certain amount of turmoil as a large number of boats attempted to round 2 at the same time but they seemed to sort themselves out on the way up to 4 !<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

First back through the line were David C then Mark B in Lasers. It was good to see Mark back on the water after a little break. Newton& Ellen came through in 3rd<\/span><\/sup>, very closely followed by the Lasers of Adrian and Jon then Ian C (Supernova).  <\/span>Sylvia (Laser) was next, going well just in front of Steve S (Laser) and Steve P (505). Rod B (Laser) and Neville (Leader) came through together in 10th<\/span><\/sup> and 11th with Curtis (Laser) in close attendance in 12th<\/span><\/sup> place. There was then a slight gap to James P (Laser), Mike C (Solo) and Andy B (Laser) followed by Mike A (Laser) who had suffered a slight problem rounding 9 when he discovered his tiller was no longer attached to his rudder!  <\/span> <\/span>Not far behind Mike were Hadey (4.7), Alistair (Laser) and William in his Topper.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the second lap the two leaders were the same but Ian had moved up to 3rd<\/span><\/sup>. Steve P had moved up from 9th<\/span><\/sup> to 6th<\/span><\/sup>, Curtis had got past Neville, Andy B had got past Mike C, Mike A had moved up from 16th<\/span><\/sup> to 13th<\/span><\/sup> and Alistair had passed Hadey. All the other boats maintained station.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The end of the third and last lap saw David cross the line in 1st<\/span><\/sup> place; Ian was now 2nd<\/span><\/sup> and Steve P 3rd<\/span><\/sup>. Others gaining places on this last lap were Jon C moving up from 7th<\/span><\/sup> to 5th<\/span><\/sup>, Neville who had repassed Curtis and James who had repassed Mike A on the run down to 9.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The final positions on the water were 1st<\/span><\/sup> David C, 2nd<\/span><\/sup> Ian C and 3rd<\/span><\/sup> Steve P; on handicap the first two are safe but Steve P will lose his 3rd<\/span><\/sup> place to Mark B.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The other movers on handicap will be Newton & Ellen who should take 4th<\/span><\/sup>, Neville who should get 7th<\/span><\/sup>, Hadey 8th and Mike C 9th<\/span><\/sup>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
