With quite a strong SW wind Richard S set the first beat to 4 then 2, 9, 5, 8, 6, 7 and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Pursuit Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
There were 18 starters the same as last week, but not exactly the same set of sailors!<\/span><\/div>\n
Early starters Chris H (Comet) and Dave P (Mirror) were 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> at the end of the first lap with Hadey sailing a Radial next through in 3rd<\/sup> place. Then came the first of the chasing pack with Jon (Laser) already up to 4th<\/sup> having just caught and passed Steve S (Solo). Next through were the three Lasers of Mark, Rick and Ken being rapidly caught by Paul R (Aero) who had just passed James and Ralph (both in Lasers) and Nev (Comet). William (4.7) was next through followed by Ellen & Newton (RS200) who were lagging behind (for them at any rate!) and they were followed by Dean & Nick (Vago), Alistair S (Laser), Adrian (Rooster and last to start) and Jeremy(Laser).<\/span><\/div>\n
At the finish gun it was Jon who had come to the fore with Paul behind him and Hadey still hanging on to 3rd<\/sup> place.  <\/span><\/div>\n
Final positions were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Jon; 2nd<\/sup> Paul R; 3rd<\/sup> Hadey; 4th<\/sup> Steve S; 5th<\/sup> Ken; 6th<\/sup> Ellen & Newton.<\/span><\/div>\n
  <\/span><\/div>\n
Handicap Race<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
There were no drop outs, but Al E joined the fleet in a Buzz (first time out in a race this year for this combination) <\/span><\/div>\n
First back through the line was Paul R with a good lead on Jon in 2nd<\/sup> place. The next pack crossed the line in close order led by Newton & Ellen just ahead of James, Adrian, Mark, Al, Steve S, Hadey, Ken and Rick (a bit of a nightmare for the OOD team to get the order and times sorted). Then there was a 30 second gap back to Chris H, who was clear of Alistair S, Dean & Nick, Nev, Jeremy and William who were all evenly spaced out, with Dave P bringing up the rear.  <\/span><\/div>\n
Ralph retired before the end of the lap, but reason unknown.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the second lap the three leaders were the same, but Adrian had moved up to 4th<\/sup> place and Al up to 5th<\/sup>. Mark was still 6th<\/sup> but Ken had Rick both gained three places to move to 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup>. Further back Jeremy had moved up a place by passing Nev.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Again on the third lap the three leaders remained in the same positions, but they had stretched out a bit. Al had passed both Adrian and Mark to move up to 4th<\/sup> position. Hadey and Steve S both regained one place to move back up a bit to 9th<\/sup> and 10th<\/sup> places. Dean & Nick were the only other movers and they gained two places.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the fourth and last lap Paul crossed the line well ahead of Jon who in turn was well clear of Newton & Ellen in 3rd<\/sup> place. Al kept his 4th<\/sup> place and Mark gained a place to take 5th<\/sup> spot with Ken also moving up one place to 6th<\/sup>. Rick and Chris H both regained one place, but there were no other changes in an upward direction.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Final positions on the water were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st <\/sup>Paul; 2nd<\/sup> Jon; 3rd<\/sup> Newton & Ellen; 4th<\/sup> Al; 5th<\/sup> Mark; 6th<\/sup> Ken<\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/sup><\/div>\n
On Handicap the first three should retain their positions, but Mark and Ken should move up one place to 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> with Al down to6th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks to Richard S and the OOD Team of Phil M, Ferdinando M, David P, Paula S and Chris S.   <\/span><\/div>\n
