Sunday 18th IOMs… !!

We had a terrific morning’s IOM racing on Sunday.

A six boat fleet – lots of members travelling this month!! Nigel up in Scotland, and Hugh still not back to full fitness after the Marblehead Worlds. The A-rig wind was a little swirly but Craig set a pretty usable course for the morning, though constant big shifts meant compromises! We considered moving from north to south course a couple of times, but in the end the breeze tended to wobble back to NNE. Bacon rolls were also popular !! Craig’s Proteus looked pretty impressive at the front today …!

DF95 Racing Today !!

3 DF95s today with Graham joining in the fun trying out various sails for his RG65. 
Sunny day with gusty NE which meant slightly overpowered on A rig at times. 
4 races : Andrew 6 points(3 wins), Geoff 7 points (1win), Ross 11 points. Graham suggested a few tweaks to Ross afterwards and boat was looking better.

Next week will be the acid test!
