Datchet hosted the IOM Metropolitan and Southern District Championships this weekend. The Club got a fantastic 2nd and 1st in the brilliant hands of David Lindsay and Craig Richards.

It was a pretty consistent B-Rig kind of day, 10-15mph westerlies, with the occasional rig change to C. The battle was pretty close up to Race 8, then positions tended to open out as they often do as we approached the completion of 13 races. However, we all enjoyed the family battles within Family Stollery and Family Guerrier… which were really close most of the time!

An excellent day too for the Proteus programme – first day afloat for that particular boat. Gosh didn’t it do well !! Downwind it was awesome. Craig did a brilliant job of stamping his authority on the Championship and the boat is looking really great!
