It was a beautiful sunny morning for Remembrance Sunday and the November Cup Race.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

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

With a very light SSW wind, Steve S made a last minute change to the first beat by putting X in place just past Tektona instead of the original No 3 buoy, in case no-one actually reached No 3 ! In fact a nice breeze sprang up shortly after the start and made for a very pleasant sail. There was a two minute silence before the start in remembrance of all those who served their country in past and current conflicts.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

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

There were 15 starters and the fastest away from the line were David C and Karen in Lasers, Newton & Ellen in the Laser 2000 and Adrian in his Laser 8.1.  <\/span>Well actually Jon C (Laser) was the quickest away but he was adjudged to be across the line and had to go back round again! Mike A (Lightning) did the same thing, but went back round just before the gun, as he arrived at the line too early. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

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

At the end of the first lap, Steve P (505) led, followed by David C then Newton & Ellen and Karen. Peter R (Enterprise) had come up to 5th<\/sup> despite having to do penalty turns after a slow motion bump with Mike. Adrian was 6th<\/sup> with John W (Laser) 7th<\/sup>, Mike 8th<\/sup>, Curtis (Laser) 9th and Jon C up to 10th<\/sup>. Eddie B (Laser) in 11th<\/sup> place had pulled out a lead on Paul W (Radial), Sally (Comet) and Hadey (4.7), with Pat G (Mirror) slightly further back.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

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

By the second lap the first five boats were in the same positions but very close together. At this point Peter R in the Enterprise was probably leading on handicap.  <\/span>There was a slight gap back to Adrian and John W in 6th<\/sup> and 7th <\/sup>, but again these two were very close to one another. Curtis had passed Mike to move up one place to 8th <\/sup>but Jon and Eddie had retired, which moved Paul W up to 10th<\/sup> closely followed by Sally and Hadey.  <\/span>These three were having a great battle at the back of the fleet.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

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

Pat had now decided to retire and at the end of the third and last lap David C had just taken the lead from Steve P, but Steve was still in 2nd<\/sup> place.  <\/span>Karen had moved up to 3rd<\/sup> and Adrian up to 4th<\/sup> with Peter still in 5th<\/sup> place.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

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

The final positions on the water were 1st<\/sup> David C, 2nd<\/sup> Steve P, 3rd<\/sup> Karen; but on handicap Newton & Ellen were close enough to snatch victory with David C dropping down to 2nd<\/sup> with Karen retaining 3rd<\/sup> place.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
