Marblehead Games – Littleton

Eight of us took our Marbleheads over to Littleton (Guildford MYC’s new home) today to compete in the Mermaid Trophy and part of the Marblehead Games series.

It was shorts weather last week, and polar weather today !! We were on A rigs in the main.

The huge proportion of the fleet were sailing F6’s – a very nice feeling for PH and GH, to see the result of all their years of hard work making an impact.

Two of our advanced Radiomaster transmitter projects were also in test today – looking very good! (More on this before the year is out) PH’s new TX15 was looking very smart showing off its multicolour gimbal illumination in the half light of the afternoon! Very Christmasy !!

The event organisers made an interesting claim – that this Games Series is the longest continually running Marblehead event in the country…. it’s been running since 1979 even through covid and lock down! Pretty good !!

It was a nice size fleet of around 12 or 13 competitors. Final results will be with us shortly. Hotly contested at the top! NB was beaten into second place by just 2 points, and HM came 3rd – both of them with a good number of race wins!

Datchet Team Do Well at the DF95 Nationals !!

(Craig receiving 2nd prize from Jim!)

Datchet Radio Sailing had a team of six members attend the 52 boat DF95 Nationals at East Kent – plus Jim and Richard on Race Team.

The team put on a great show with some really strong performances. Nigel had a terrific fourth, and Craig was a brilliant second in the Championship – only losing by one place in the final race …. very exciting !!

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!!
