Post Worlds – Horizontal Position….!

Leave a reply

Apologies for being quieter than we should be “post Worlds”!! There’s a lot to tell, obviously.

Still a huge amount of post-event work crashing through …. I popped in to remove a few flag poles on Wednesday and DWSC told me to leave them there! Thank you to our wonderful competitors for not taking their flag home as a souvenir!!

How nice are those people at Thames Water. Despite the drought. they kept the water level high for the Worlds!! Now – two to three metres came out at roughly 1 metre per night.

Interesting. VERY dry in my home town…..

More analysis soon.

DF95 TT at Datchet ….!!

Leave a reply

13 skippers turned up for R4 of the M&S DF95 TT R4 event at Datchet RS. The winds were very light from just south of west so there was some delay in getting started but a course was set to the north of the clubhouse around 11:00 and racing got underway. The first race was an indicator for the final positions with Nigel Barrow 1st, Dorian Crease 2nd, and Colin Honour 3rd.

11 more races were run in shifty conditions with a fair amount of course changing. Thanks to Hugh McAdoo in the dinghy and the finishing team of Debbie La Roche and Ralph Wilkinson.

There are now 3 events to go in the series, Gosport, Chipstead, and Eastbourne.
