You may have noticed recently that Craig, Nigel and David have been working together at Datchet on Craig’s printed IOM designs.
They took the designs to the Open at Hampton Court and did really jolly well!!
The full results sheet has been published on MYA Downwind and you can see them there.

Despite a breezy Saturday and a breezy Monday, Sunday morning itself was a pretty glassy view!! Many coffees were drunk and it was extremely sociable, I must say….but we didn’t race. As usual, the talk was of sailing, sailing, sailing!!
Craig and Nigel were undeterred. To get Nigel tuned up for the IOM Worlds in Gladstone, Australia, our super-heroes spent hours and hours out on the water chasing the breeze, practising manoeuvres and testing the state of tune. It was extremely interesting to see them in action.
Our member, Craig Richards, has out a couple of posts on Facebook about setting up and tuning DF95s
By good fortune, Craig and Nigel have kindly decided to also post the articles on Nigel’s Blog. There’s a part one and a part two, and pretty interesting they are too.
You can see them on these two links below:-
