Another pleasant sunny evening with a tricky ENE wind about 7- 8 mph, so <\/b>Mike A used a CB start (level with Tektona but more in the middle of the lake) with a first beat to O (in the middle of the lake about level with No 8), then 5p, 2s, 4s and back through the start.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
There were 20 starters and Karen (Laser) was first back through the line with Newton (Solo) in 2nd<\/sup> place, then the Lasers of Hugh, Mark, Ellen, Alistair S and Richard H  occupying the next five  places.<\/span><\/div>\n
After a little gap Mike T in another Laser came through in 8th<\/sup> place closely followed by William (Radial), Chris S (Laser), Rick (Laser), Dean & Nick (Vago) and  Paul H (Supernova) and this group was enjoying a close contest. Then 20 seconds later Jamie H (Laser) and Sally & Stuart crossed the line virtually abreast with Jeremy T (Laser) slightly further back. Ed in the first of the Toppers was next through the line some way ahead of Rhys in the second Topper and Carol M in a Radial. Julian W (Solo) who started did not make the first lap, so presumably retired, but reason unknown.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The same two leaders at the end of the second lap, but Ellen had moved up to 3rd with Hugh now 4th<\/sup> and Mark 5th<\/sup>. Alistair S and Richard H were still 6th<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup>, but Rick had gained three places to move to 8th <\/sup>and Paul H had moved <\/sup>up four places to 9th<\/sup>. Chris S was steady in 10th<\/sup> place and Jamie and Sally & Stuart had gained a place to move to 13th<\/sup> and 14th<\/sup>. In the Topper battle Ed had stretched his lead on Rhys, who had also been caught and passed by Carol.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Third lap and no change in the top five boats, but Richard H had got past Alistair to move up to 6th<\/sup>. <\/span><\/div>\n
William and Jamie had both gained three places to move to 8th<\/sup> and 10th<\/sup> respectively and there were no other movers in the right direction! <\/span><\/div>\n
Rhys and Carol received the finis gun at the end of this lap.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the last lap Karen crossed the line well ahead of Ellen, who had moved up to 2nd<\/sup> place pushing Newton down to 3rd<\/sup>. Mark and Richard H had both managed to get past Hugh to move up to 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup>. Alistair S was still 7th<\/sup> and some way ahead of Mike T who had gained three places to move up to 8th<\/sup> and the only other movers were Sally & Stuart who gained three places to move up to 11th<\/sup>. The midfield fleet from 8th<\/sup> to 15th<\/sup> were  changing places every lap and no single boat actually held 8th<\/sup> place for more than one lap! <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Karen; 2nd<\/sup> Ellen; 3rd<\/sup> Newton; 4th<\/sup> Mark; 5th<\/sup> Richard H; 6th<\/sup> Hugh.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
On Handicap the only change in the top six finishers will be Newton leapfrogging Ellen, but Ed may pip the lot of them.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to Mike A and the OOD Team of Paula S and Mike C.<\/span><\/div>\n
