Are you wanting to qualify for the 2026 IOM Worlds at Datchet?
A great opportunity to prepare yourself on the unique waters of Datchet is coming up on June 1st. The M&S District Championship Round 3 will be held on the first weekend of June.
If you are not wanting to compete, please feel free to come and volunteer or spectate. It’s a brilliant venue for watching the racing.
You can find the Entry Button and NOR on the MYA website here:
The Race Team hope to see you soon.
What a simply stunning day at Datchet today. The Club was having an open weekend. It looked jolly successful and was also doing a fund raiser for the local hospice. I noted one of the activities was a guided walk around the perimeter of the lake (3miles/5km) for a £10 fee. I was amazed at the number of people who entered … 120 !!
Unusually dead flat waters, but a nice medium B Rig Breeze. We had four boats racing (three F6’s and a Grunge ), plus in a non-racing capacity we had Phil, Craig, David Thomas from Australia (with boat!) and Richard.
I paused with the chatter for a couple of races where Phil had borrowed Graham’s F6. I must say, it absolutely flew in both races and won by really handsome margins. Screaming along. Very impressive on all fronts.
Race report and scores from the Sailing Secretary in due course.
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!
