Leave a reply

The Weekend’s results:-

Four Tens were out on Saturday with a delayed start due to rain/drizzle and an uncooperative wind, we eventually got going on the South Course and did four races before a lunch break.  Two of us changed down at this point and this proved disastrous for Phil, who had stayed in top rig, as he nose dived big time at the last spreader of the last race to let myself through to win the day by one point.  Full results were 
Hugh 8 pts
Phil 9 pts
Richard U 15 pts
Graham 20 pts

Sunday :-

We had 4 skippers for IOMs however two did not have no. 3 Rigs, or it C rigs these days and Les and myself thought it would not be much fun with two and anyway Les does not like waves!  

In fairness it was West 15 gusting 23 knots 

Racing Report – Marbleheads, Sunday 29th October 2023

Despite the rain, Datchet members had a very lively weekend. The home fleet fielded seven of its Marbleheads and some great racing was had with Rohan Williams winning the day.  Three of our members travelled to the final 2023 One Metre Ranking event at Woodspring.  In an extremely competitive fleet of 36, the Datchet team put up a really great show. Datchet’s Craig Richards won third place with his 3D printed One Metre… and winning chocolate biscuits!

Looking forward to even more than Craig’s biscuits, it looks like we might have up to four new members by year end.  Next week we race our One Metres.  It’ll be close racing as always !
