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.

For both days there were enough shifts to make life interesting both up wind and down. All in all a good weekend at Datchet.

The weather at Datchet was horrid. The “feels like” temperature was 6 degrees…. And it rained a LOT !!

Results :-
Four of us lined up with our Marbleheads today including Rob with his previously loved Quark (Mark 1) – we were on the north course in C2s except Graham, who tried a B and so missed the first 3 races, and the came out with a C2, too small. In Race 5 Phil and I had a Port/Starboard and as a result he got his back stay pinged off and so that was his day. With some longish breaks we eventually managed 8 races which were mostly closely fought and the last number in the rain, which made it even colder, we called it a day. Rob 6 pts
Hugh 10pts
Phil 18 pt
Graham 20 pts
