Race Report Sunday 1st October – Marbleheads …!!

Well done to Craig at the A Class Nationals!

At Datchet today we had 6 Marbleheads including Richard Jones’s brand new F-6.  Some of us expected to be in B or C1 rigs, instead it was A swing rigs, however the direction was sort of SSW with enough shits to make life interesting.  We managed 10 races and the results were;
1st Richard U with 14 pts
2nd Hugh 15 pts was plagued with rig failure
3rd Graham 23 pts
4th Richard J 27 pts new boat nerves?
5th Les 30 pts
6th Phil 46 pts damaged sheet post and two attempts at temporary fixes failed.
Richard with his Quark beat the later designs of F-5 and F-6s

As a heads up, the Ten Rater Rankings for next weekend have been cancelled.  So it will be Club Racing with Tens on Saturday and IOMs on Sunday
