Leave a reply

Results from Saturday for the Tens:-  

We had John Millard from Frensham as a guest so there were three and after 8 races
Hugh 6 pts 6 wins
Graham 10 pts 2 wins
John 18pts
A good day.

Results from Sunday for the IOMs :-

On Sunday, with seven boats and ten races, I leapt to a spreadsheet for the results. (see below). There were five different winners in the ten races, but dominated by Nigel and Dorian.  There were enough shifts in the NE’ly top suit breeze in the sunshine to go from peacock to feather duster in one beat ….and of course visa versa. A terrific morning’s racing!

May 12th – Marblehead Sunday !!

Leave a reply

Results from the weekend at Datchet.

With no 95s on Saturday, it was left to the Marbleheads on Sunday. A delayed start waiting to see if the wind would go to it’s forecast SE direction, this it failed to do and five of us sailed an unpredictable Easterly and this was not ideal as the bank on the South course gave a large wind shadow.

However we did manage 8 races often without a real beat and the runs could be anything from a run to a beat with a lot of reaching and close fetching in between.

After the 8 races, the results were;

Nigel 7 points with 5 wins
Hugh 11 points with 2 wins
Rohan 13 points with 1 win
Phil 25 points with some boat issues.
Bob 35 points

All in all a very pleasant morning in the warm sunshine.
