IOM Nationals Coming Up….!!

Leave a reply

This was the lake on Wednesday – more breeze than this forecast at the weekend!!

Around 50-60 competitors expected. Yesterday, the motorhome area had been marked out and power was being supplied. (miles of nice blue cable!) We had good news from the landlord that we shall, after all, have full access to the control area for the north course!! Hugh is considering the buoy positions down there. The scorers were practising setting up all the kit. Ready to go!!

Marblehead Sunday 29th March…!!

Today’s (29th March) Marblehead results after 8 races:

1st Hugh  8pts  4 wins
2nd Graham 13pts  1 win
3rd Phil  14pts  3 wins
4th Chris  27 pts
5th  Jim  42 pts

To be fair Phil missed some races as he was otherwise engaged for a while.
Jim missed most of the races on a bit of a mechanical. 
Chris had some loose winch mounting problems so also missed some races.
It was a fresh breeze some started with A rigs and rapidly changed to B. After a coffee break it was a quick change to C1s and should really have been C2s by the last two races.
Richard U came on boat delivery duty but was feeling under the weather and went home again to recline on his sick bed. Richard J was engaged on family duties!

Flash Report from Woodspring IOMs….!!

Leave a reply

Datchet’s Craig and Nigel made the treck to Woodspring for the weekend – and did extremely well down there. It’ll have been blowing just as hard as it was for us at the Club, I imagine. Nigel got a couple of brilliant wins in the Viss and was right up there, but Craig sailed in a league of his own.

Proteus looking good!

Full reports awaited 🙂
