Results from Saturday for the Tens:-  

We had John Millard from Frensham as a guest so there were three and after 8 races

A good day.

Results from Sunday for the IOMs :-

On Sunday, with seven boats and ten races, I leapt to a spreadsheet for the results. (see below). There were five different winners in the ten races, but dominated by Nigel and Dorian.  There were enough shifts in the NE’ly top suit breeze in the sunshine to go from peacock to feather duster in one beat ….and of course visa versa. A terrific morning’s racing!

With just 3 weeks to go the excitement is building ahead of the 50th anniversary of the first Radio Marblehead National Championships held in 1974.  With 6 former holders of the trophy ,4 world champions including the current holder, Patrice Montero, and an entry of 32 skippers to date, plus counting towards next year’s world championship, this is shaping up to be the Marblehead event of 2024.  

There is still time to enter via the MYA website, but if you would prefer to come along and watch the action you will be made very welcome by the hosts Datchet Radio Sailing.

The Datchet race team are in training and water levels are currently at their maximum so fingers crossed for favourable weather.
