Datchet Race Report – Sunday 13th August

Great breezes today. In line with our programme, the Marbleheads were tucked under their duvets for the day and the chaps got their One Metres out. There was great competitive spirit as a number of members from neighbouring clubs with seasonal weed challenges, came to limber up for the Nationals (26-28 August, Fleetwood ) against the Datchet members. Super racing!

Report from our Leader follows !! :-

“Good wind and waves this weekend. Saturday saw it blowing with only myself and Graham in attendance with 10’s so we spent the morning chatting!
Today saw 8 IOM’s with top rigs to start and then no2 rig later. 9 races with 2 discards saw Craig on 10pts, Nigel 14, David Lindsay 19, David Adam 20, Phil 28, guests Rob on 36 and Simon on 39. Peter Haskell had annoying radio issues and had to finish sailing early but did the scoring for the rest of us, thank you.
Lots of fun all round with smiling faces in the club afterwards. So much so that we are going to do it all over again next Saturday. All welcome, IOM on Saturday and Marbleheads on Sunday.”
