It was a similar wind to last week veering around WNW and about 12 mph with some stronger gusts coming through. John H used the normal flagpole start with the pin near to 7 with a short beat to 5 then 9, 4, 8, 6, 7 and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Pursuit Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
There were 14 starters today and at the end of the first lap the early starters were still up front with Chris H (Comet) leading from Peter S (Byte), Newton (Solo) and Mike A (Lightning), but they were being caught rapidly by the Laser pack led by Jon and James.<\/span><\/div>\n
At the gun the positions were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Jon; 2nd<\/sup> James; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Mark; 5th<\/sup> Karen; 6th<\/sup> Peter S<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Handicap Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Ken P decided to sit the second one out and Chris H only just made the start after making hurried repairs to his tiller extension which came adrift during the first race.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Jon was first back through the line followed closely by Ralph and Mark with Gareth and James together a little further back and Karen not far behind them, all in Lasers. Newton (Solo) came through in 7th<\/sup> with Peter S (Byte) in 8th<\/sup> and they were followed by the Lasers of Rick and Franz. Then at the back of the fleet Adrian, Mike A and Chris H were pottering along in their own race.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
There was no change in position on the second lap, but on the third lap Newton passed Karen to move up to 6th<\/sup>, Rick and Franz both gained one place,<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the last lap Jon crossed the line first having led from start to finish. James had got past Gareth to move up to 4th<\/sup> place and Karen had repassed Newton. There were no other changes in the fleet.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Jon; 2nd<\/sup> Ralph; 3rd<\/sup> Mark; 4th<\/sup> James; 5th<\/sup> Gareth; 6th<\/sup> Karen<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On handicap the first two will keep their positions, but Newton should move up to 3rd<\/sup> place with Mark 4th<\/sup> and James 5th<\/sup> with Peter S moving up to 6th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks to John H and the OOD team of Pat G, Helen I and Gordon P and Cecilia.<\/span><\/div>\n
