Conditions were generally A-rig in the main… and a little shifty! Ranking 4 results above are possibly subject to redress, so official results awaited.
Nigel, Phil, Austin and Jim put one a strong show!!
Simply gorgeous day at Datchet today!! We all had a terrific time in B rig, almost C rig breezes. Honestly – so much fun! Marbleheads are fantastic on this kind of day. Our new member, CW (who drives two hours each way) had simply the best time!!
Still in the holiday season but five of us turned out for racing. The water level was perfectly manageable (see photo above ). We could pretty easily launch off the main pontoon in the photo then walked along the beach toward the camera so that the large flat concrete plateau there was our control area.
Both DA and RJ managed to find a magnetic attraction with marker buoy warps closer to the surface than we expected! Much expertise was on hand to get us unstuck.
Next weekend we have the Ten Rater Rankings for two days. Spectators and Volunteers for race team welcome!

If you adore gorgeous blue sky weather, this was the day! Quite a good A Rig NNE breeze, with a five boat fleet. We launched off the newly positioned main pontoon, which worked well. Quite a few “gear” challenges, but we had a pretty great time – lunched was called at around 1pm and we were ready for it 🙂
