IOM Club Racing – December 14th

The Club was very busy today !

As a Club, the RYA has granted special status for the youth training and GBR squad programs. With it goes one of the RYA’s RIBS which is jolly useful. It also means that you can turn up on a weekend like last weekend, and find it buzzing with young people and parents. Fantastic!

In addition to Club dinghy and keelboat racing, the GBR Youth Squad seemed to be out in their 470s and Optimists – and handful of which appear in the photo above – along with six IOMs Club Racing!! They are the small dots on the left side the photo !! The environment agency has given permission to pump some more water in – and simply huge amounts have arrived in the last few days.

All good.

In the afternoon we retired to the Clubhouse for 2026 IOM Worlds Planning – good fun!!

Chipstead IOM District Finals

Tense morning’s racing at Chipstead – ultra shifty, top of A Rig!!

Craig and Nigel lying first and second at the lunch break, nine races completed. Phil also had a couple of corker races in his new Proteus 🙂
