“Premium Membership” Announced by Datchet….. !!

Leave a reply

This morning, Datchet Radio Sailing has announced a “Premium Membership Tariff” priced at 10% above normal membership rates.

Premium Members will be allowed to cross the start line up to 5 seconds ahead of the start signal without being called “over the line”. This will only apply to Club Racing. Craig Richards and Nigel Barrow have agreed not to subscribe.

A spokesman for the Commodore said, “We see this as a chance to level up the playing field for normal club members, whilst simultaneously raising some money for the Worlds….”

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 🙂
