Our Chaps Do Well at Chipstead Marblehead Games…!!

It was blinking cold down at Chipstead yesterday. Only five skippers turned out but the racing was actually jolly close. The F6 cleaned up the podium!!

Breezes were fickle as can be – classic Chipstead but the best guys kept own getting it right. They managed 11 races by lunchtime so there was plenty going on!

Our Datchet members did well, cleaning up first and second – With Nigel just squeezing it from Phil by 0.8 points!!

(Phil’s F6, number 66, looking very nice in the light breeze beating out to the top mark)

Sunday 28th December – Reservoir Full

First thing to note – lake pretty full, all 80 feet depth of it!!

We were expecting five today, but exceptional coolness plus light breeze caused duvets to win out. Only PH and DC turned out. RJ hit immediate problems on the M25 and turned for home!

PH was testing his new Proteus, with focus on the rig today – spreader adjustments being the key item of the day. PH sounds very pleased !!

Next weekend is the Hampton Court Charity Race.

Marblehead Games 8 at Gosport – and the Tide Has Come In !!

I reckon we had three Datchet Radio Sailing members at Games 8 – Nigel, Phil and Chris were expected. It was a little fresh though 🙂

Nigel with his F6 won it on countback – wahoo to Nigel !!

Meanwhile back at the Club, the Reservoir is almost up to the brim now!
