The blows are back in town! It was an East wind of 13-15 mph with a bitterly cold edge. Dave P set the first beat to 8 then 6, 5, 2, 3 and back through the start.<\/p>\n
There were only six starters this morning, not surprising considering the conditions. Simon B (Blaze) was first back through the line about one minute ahead of Steve S (Aero). Rick (Laser) was next through in 3rd place just ahead of Nev & Sally (Leader). Chris H (Comet) came through thirty seconds later with Marcin (Laser) another thirty seconds back.<\/p>\n
On the second lap there were no changes in position, although Simon had stretched his lead over Steve. Rick was having a close battle with Nev & Sally and they crossed the line virtually together.<\/p>\n
By the end of the third lap Nev & Sally had moved into 3rd place ahead of Rick, who must have had a moment or two as he had lost a minute and a half. There were no other changes in position and Marcin received the gun at the end of this lap.<\/p>\n
No change in the leading three boats on the fourth lap, but Chris had managed to catch Rick to move up to 4th place. At the end of this lap Nev & Sally, Chris and Rick all received the finish gun. This left Simon and Steve to complete one more lap and finish the race.<\/p>\n
Final position on the water were \u2013
\n1st Simon; 2nd Steve; 3rd Nev & Sally; 4th Chris; 5th Rick; 6th Marcin<\/p>\n
On handicap the only change in position will be Chris leapfrogging Nev & Sally to take 3rd place from them.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Dave P and the OOD Team of Bill C and Chris & Carol M, who unfortunately had a cold morning. Not sure what happened to the rest of the team!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
