Race Report -Weekend of 9/10 September 2023

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. 

Marblehead Race Report – Sunday 3rd September

Six Marbleheads yesterday at Datchet in glorious sunshine, but unfortunately a very lightly easterly breeze which was not only unstable as to strength but also large shifts which both together made for very tricky conditions.  Certainly a day for A-rigs! We managed 6 races before the fans turned off entirely.  The results are below.  Les got off to a fine start in the first race with a port tack flyer and lead on the way until the final beat when I think his nerves got to him and the wind failed him as he faded 4th.  Nigel suffered from sheeting problems which hampered his results, hopefully to be sorted before the Nationals in a few weeks. Hugh had an outrageous day, winning most of them with his F6!!!
1st Hugh 5pts
2nd Phil 10pts
3rd Rohan 15pts
4th Nigel 22pts
5th Les 23pts
6th Graham 24pts
