Race Officers Report – 17/18 February and Our First DF95 Racing!

On Saturday we held our first DF95 club racing with up to 8 boats, including some guests.  As it was the first time out for many we did no scoring and the wind was not kind we us as we had to shift from the north course to the south after a few races.  Some found to their cost that the green stuff on the waterline is ultra slippery when trying to retrieve their boats, however it was a successful day. 

On Sunday we had 8 Marbleheads including two guests.  Again the wind was not kind to us and the selected windward mark was too far away and not suitable as Richard found when the top pole caught his back stay twice.  It was positioned such that we were beating away from ourselves and judgement was difficult and frustrating to the extent that Richard and myself retired for the day, Jim sailing a borrowed boat had to retire with technical problems! 

Club Results – First Sunday of the Season, February 4th…!!

It was something of a blustery day with a great eight competitors for the first race session of 2024 !! Many members were over at Chipstead at the IOM Open – and I might add they did very well….

Rohan made a tidy job of cleaning up the day at Datchet – well done, Rohan !!

Next Weekend is Ten Raters and IOMs. :)
