Marblehead Report – Sunday 28th

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

DF95 Racing Today – Saturday 27th April

Results from 95s today.

Four managed 10 races in A rig on a cold day with a shifty NE breeze but no rain.

Phil 11 pts
Hugh 11 pts
Peter 18 pts
Geoffrey 27 pts

Geoffrey did however score two seconds. Phil won on count back by the fact of beating Hugh in the last race, though there was a questionable incident between the two on the finishing mark, which did not go to protest but involved windward boat (Hugh) and mark room (Hugh)!

Despite this incident the racing was mostly very close on a simple windward leeward course and mostly in a friendly spirit!!!
