Another 90 min pursuit race today, the King George Dragon, tempted 8 boats to shrug off any hangovers or excess mince pies and take to the water. Two Toppers, 5 Lasers and a Contender.
Oliver and Imogen set off at -18 followed by James & Leo in Radials, Pete & Jon in Fulls and finally Rodger at +14. Sailing round 1, 4, 9, 11, 10 in a gusty SSW force 4 sadly proved too much for Imogen whose hopes were dashed early in round 1. Rodger too found himself back on the jetty before the end of round 2.
James was on fire today, although not passing Oliver until round 5, finally going on to complete 6 laps, still 2 minutes ahead of Pete, who also passed Oliver, but not until the 6th and final lap.
Leo’s form from the White Elephant failed him today in 4th place followed by Jon 5th. Simon sailing R2 was late for his start after helping the Cadets launch.
Check out the results here. Back to series racing next week, including the next round of Laser First Sunday.
Happy New Year to all.
