Three 95’s braved a 15 knot gusting 20 SW wind down the lake with large waves. B rigs order of day with Rossco using A as his only option. My first time using a B rig so time spent getting the set up right. Despite a handicap upwind the A rig shot downwind. After the boats been blown flat during a prolonged gust we called it a day at 12 just before a biblical shower!

We had a terrific morning’s IOM racing on Sunday.
A six boat fleet – lots of members travelling this month!! Nigel up in Scotland, and Hugh still not back to full fitness after the Marblehead Worlds. The A-rig wind was a little swirly but Craig set a pretty usable course for the morning, though constant big shifts meant compromises! We considered moving from north to south course a couple of times, but in the end the breeze tended to wobble back to NNE. Bacon rolls were also popular !! Craig’s Proteus looked pretty impressive at the front today …!
