Playing Away……!!

0900, Sunday 23rd

I awoke today to find light drizzle and light wind in Kent. However, Datchet members are “on the circuit” this weekend!!

Hugh, Graham and I think Richard U are at the Ten Rater Rankings at LMYC and RU says that Hugh won the first day – Brilliant, Hugh !!!

Then way up in Birkenhead, Vernon and Jim are battling it out at the RG65 TT. People really DO get passionate about their RG65s, don’t they!? It must be a five hour drive up there for Jim, so he deserves a medal for that bit alone!!

Datchet Members Do Well at Frensham….!!

Both Datchet and the F6 did well at Frensham’s mid-week Marblehead event!! Congratulations to Phil on his win !!

Congratulations also to Frensham – ten Marbleheads and four Ten Raters is a great turnout for a Wednesday !!

Race Report – 16th-17th March 2025….!!

Results from last weekend:

We had around five or even six members racing the IOM Rankings up in distant Scarborough, so our turn out for the weekend was our hard core! Welcome Andrew Granger to the DF95s on Saturday too!!


There was no formal racing for the 95s on Saturday, though 3 brave souls faced the bitter NE’ly breeze for some sailing and practice. Well done Andrew, Geoffrey and Phil.
On Sunday the weather was no warmer, but four of us raced with our Marbleheads. David A also appeared, but due to a brain malfunction did not bring the correct combination of required boat bits!!! Phil attempted to lend him a boat but repeated technical troubles meant no racing for David, the delay gave three of time to realise that A Rig was too much and so change to B Rigs.  We managed 8 races in the cold NE’ly which was shifty coming over the club at the windward mark.


Results were:
Phil 7 pts 5 wins
Hugh 9 pts 3 wins
Richard U 16 pts
Graham H 20 pts
