Sunday 22nd June – Marbleheads ….!!

Totally brilliant day today. A bright, bright, unforgettable light over the reservoir and a building breeze of the 15 gusting 30+ variety. B rigs all around! It was really fast moving.

Our numbers were lower, but we were expecting 6 and got 5,… our fellow member number 6 needed a day with his feet up !! (Hope you feel improved now, H !) We had a stonking breeze and a huge amount of fun. We raced pretty much a full programme of two half sessions. Until about ten days ago I’d hardly used my B and never used my C, so all the new bits of string got a fair stress test today 🙂

The commodore had a pretty strong results day, but the other joy was Graham’s newly fettled boat was really flying and scoring highly.

Meanwhile our fellow members were also doing brilliantly at Eastbourne and Keighley. I haven’t seen the final results yet for the IOMs at Eastbourne but rumour has it that Craig, Dorian and Nigel scored a 1,2,3 there. We also had three members at the RG65 Nationals in Keighley and where Rohan scored a 5th in a pretty talented and big-name field. I gather it was breezy there too!!
