It was a similar wind to last week about 10-12 mph from the SW. Mike A set the first beat to 4, then 2, 8, 5, 6, 7 and back through the start line.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Only 8 starters this morning and Newton was the early leader with a good start from the port end of the line. Steve S (Aero 7) had taken the lead as they came back down the lake, but after rounding 8 he set off for No 6 instead of No 5, so the first boat back through the start was Jon (Laser) with Newton (Solo) not far behind him. Then came the Lasers of Ellen and Ken just in front of Steve who had found his way back on course. Franz and Rick came through close together in their Lasers,  (although Rick was flying a Radial rig) and bringing up the rear was Chris H in his Comet.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On the second lap Jon was still in the lead as he came down towards 8 but then he capsized and Steve S who had passed the four boats in front of him came through the line in 1st<\/sup> place. Ellen had passed Newton to come up to 2nd<\/sup> and Ken was still 4th<\/sup>, with a recovered Jon in 5th<\/sup> place. Rick had got past Franz to move up to 7th<\/sup> place.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The only change in position on the third lap was Chris moving up one place as Franz had to retire with a broken traveller, although Ken had closed up on Newton and they crossed the line virtually together.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The fourth and last lap saw no further changes in position but the battle between Newton and Ken continued to the line. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Steve; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Ken; 5th<\/sup> Jon; 6th<\/sup> Rick; 7th<\/sup> Chris.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap the positions will be \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Newton; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> Steve; 4th<\/sup> Ken; 5th<\/sup> Jon; 6th <\/sup>Chris; 7th<\/sup> Rick<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Mike A and the OOD Team of Tony R, Paul R, John W and Hugh (who stepped in to assist on the rescue boat) <\/span><\/div>\n
