Datchet IOM Worlds – Coming Up….!!

Leave a reply

It’s 3rd June. About ten days after the Worlds.

We are nearing the end of duties now. For myself, I’ve put the scoring systems away (the team are having a lie down!) and I am working hard to close the Championship accounts, …and already we are helping re-use the Worlds legacy knowledge to support Jim and the boys running the DF65 Nationals this weekend coming. Good luck to the East Kent Members at Barton’s Point !

In the rear view mirror, you get to appreciate how much we have learned putting many months of hard work behind us. In the coming days and weeks we shall look to reflect and digest – and place some of our knowledge on this website to help other Clubs run their events. In coming weeks, we are thinking of reporting to you on:-

  • the Robot Race-Buoys Age has finally arrived. What’s the Business Case?
  • the Amazing IOM2026 dedicated Website
  • Parallel Scoring : how to plan you’ll actually reach the last day… with flawless and audited results
  • Live-streaming and What we Learned
  • Making the Commentators’ life slightly easier : hand held tech commentary aids
  • The Hugely Important Role of Volunteers, How to Pull It All Together
  • What Drives Cost to run a Championship at this scale
  • How to Plan and Execute a Regatta at this Scale
  • Those Amazing Worlds Trophies provided by Robot Yachts – What it takes to Design and Make Trophies like that (if I can talk Tony and James into telling us!)
  • AI and writing Press reports quickly !! (Yes – a lot of what you read was AI generated !! Frighteningly good.)
  • Flags, banners, special flags and …. Flagpoles!
  • Campsite Management and building an enduring Club Asset
  • Scrutineering and Workflow
  • WhatsApp : Totally Central to Organising and Running a 2026 Championship
  • Special Technologies that can lend a hand : Satellite Comms, Waterproof Tablets, Portable Credit Card Readers, Buoybots, RTK, Application of AI – and more
  • Just how much do 84 competitors and 40 volunteers drink in a hot week?
  • Auditable International and Domestic Banking … not as trivial as you’d think
  • Do we learn anything for the Future of Our Sport
