Craig and Proteus had a storming weekend down at Bartons Point !! Congratulations also to Nigel, Austin and David who did superbly well.
If you want to chat with Craig about tuning your Proteus, dont forget to come to the Proteus Pop Up day at Datchet on Sunday 20th. Free enrolments at drscommodore@outlook.com
Had a fun day at the Club! We would have had seven Marbleheads on the line but our Sailing Sec succumbed to the local lurgy on Saturday, so we were six.
Breezes were honestly all over the place but out sure made it interesting. Craig set some figure of eight type courses which were very serviceable. We also had rig repairs, and two boats sailed off to Windsor with no winch pier (various reasons) – thankfully rescued by the club RIB.
Craig had a shot at sailing Jim’s seriously beautiful F6 Marblehead – it goes really quickly with Craig on the helm – ha ha ha !!!
Lunch was pretty sociable at the Clubhouse too!
