Race Report -Weekend of 9/10 September 2023

Leave a reply

Last Saturday at Datchet we had no Tens racing due to a combination of lack of boats and no wind.  But we did manage a bit of Marblehead drifting in the blistering heat.  This was followed later in the day by the Club triathlon and a very nice hog roast all be it still very warm.

On Sunday we managed some IOM racing in light and fickle conditions and the results after 7 races was;


1st Dorian 8pts
2nd Vernon 13pts
3rd Les 14pts (including one win)
4th Hugh 21pts (electric problems)

Next weekend should be Marbleheads, but with most at the Marblehead Nationals any racing at Datchet is less likely as many will be away at Keighley. 

Datchet Race Report – Sunday 13th August

Great breezes today. In line with our programme, the Marbleheads were tucked under their duvets for the day and the chaps got their One Metres out. There was great competitive spirit as a number of members from neighbouring clubs with seasonal weed challenges, came to limber up for the Nationals (26-28 August, Fleetwood ) against the Datchet members. Super racing!

Report from our Leader follows !! :-

“Good wind and waves this weekend. Saturday saw it blowing with only myself and Graham in attendance with 10’s so we spent the morning chatting!
Today saw 8 IOM’s with top rigs to start and then no2 rig later. 9 races with 2 discards saw Craig on 10pts, Nigel 14, David Lindsay 19, David Adam 20, Phil 28, guests Rob on 36 and Simon on 39. Peter Haskell had annoying radio issues and had to finish sailing early but did the scoring for the rest of us, thank you.
Lots of fun all round with smiling faces in the club afterwards. So much so that we are going to do it all over again next Saturday. All welcome, IOM on Saturday and Marbleheads on Sunday.”
