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)

DF95 Racing Today – Saturday 27th April

Results from 95s today.

Four managed 10 races in A rig on a cold day with a shifty NE breeze but no rain.

Phil 11 pts
Hugh 11 pts
Peter 18 pts
Geoffrey 27 pts

Geoffrey did however score two seconds. Phil won on count back by the fact of beating Hugh in the last race, though there was a questionable incident between the two on the finishing mark, which did not go to protest but involved windward boat (Hugh) and mark room (Hugh)!

Despite this incident the racing was mostly very close on a simple windward leeward course and mostly in a friendly spirit!!!
