Marblehead Sunday ….!!

We had simply sensational racing today. Greeted by a fantastic breeze, B Rig (threat of more later as another named storm sweeps across) racing was quick and properly exciting. Eight skippers gathered for coffee and eventually seven raced. Great to see our two new members.

Results pretty close! Only one point separating Nigel and Hugh at the top!

Richard had to DNC quite early as his fin started to take on its own cute personality, …and is now with Dr Graham for therapy.

Graham was scoring us on A-Fleet as part of our trial to extend our choice of scoring tools. Looked good !! More on that subject soon.

Marblehead Nationals…. Craig Wins…!!

The UK Marblehead Nationals were held over the weekend up in Staffordshire.

Datchet Radio Sailing fielded a strong team of four – Craig Richards, Nigel Barrow, Jim La Roche and Graham Hetem…. all sailing their F6’s.

The Saturday was rainy and light and only one race completed, but there was a very full race schedule on Sunday.

Craig took an outstanding victory and claimed the UK title!!

The PRO was using a double gated course, just as we saw at the One Metre Worlds. Interesting!!

It will have been a challenging weekend so a huge congratulations to Craig and to the whole team !!
