18th & 19th May, Club Racing – Tens and IOMs

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!
