Great fleet and great Team Datchet turn-out today. A super 21 boat fleet with 6 of our members! Racing was jolly competitive to put it mildly. The Datchet club was hosting inter University team racing today (near the shore, so a challenge for our little race courses) plus an RYA Youth event ……the general consensus was “lets go to Chipstead instead”!!

It was light and wispy from the south…. very tense!! Typical Chipstead southerly !!! Nigel and Craig sailed superbly to finish 2nd and 3rd respectively. The event was won by a wonderfully consistent Peter Stollery. Always up the front!!

Phil – who had to leave for home early – also put in some great numbers. By mid morning we’d had a couple of Datchet 1-2-3’s . Harry will be pleased as punch and our Jim found himself so far out front in one race he had a champions aura about him!!
