Post Worlds – Horizontal Position….!

Apologies for being quieter than we should be “post Worlds”!! There’s a lot to tell, obviously.

Still a huge amount of post-event work crashing through …. I popped in to remove a few flag poles on Wednesday and DWSC told me to leave them there! Thank you to our wonderful competitors for not taking their flag home as a souvenir!!

How nice are those people at Thames Water. Despite the drought. they kept the water level high for the Worlds!! Now – two to three metres came out at roughly 1 metre per night.

Interesting. VERY dry in my home town…..

More analysis soon.

IOM Worlds – It’s a Wrap ….!!

The Club Website has been a little quiet while we organised the IOM Worlds at Datchet Radio Sailing!

In the end, a pretty BIG thing to do and, we feel, went well 🙂

Alexis was amazing, wasn’t he?! Hope you have been following everything at the excellent MYA site

There will be lots of post event analysis to come on the Club website in the coming weeks. Plenty to tell you. We learned a huge amount about how to put something like this together, plus we have the robot marks, checklists, costs analysis, scoring tech, parallel scoring, how to audit 3000 scores, boat designs, the Proteus story (2 Worlds Race Wins for Proteus!!), fully Umpired Racing, safety (somebody managed to fall in in addition to the winner being thrown in!)

Going to lie down now.

Till then…..
