Fantastic day at Datchet today – the Club was very lively with Club Racing, plus 70 ILCA’s around the place – we had a jolly galley and Clubroom ! The first day of the Spring Series – We had around half a dozen Marbleheads which given the temperature was pretty good 🙂

It was whisper light for the first part of the morning – the ILCAs seemed to stay ashore, but of course we could get the Marbleheads going pretty well. We got some terrific races in – Rob was there developing his new F6 and going like a rocket. Graham has his new self built Red Ant swing rig in action – going jolly well too. Around midday some proper breeze arrived and another few epic races were completed. For myself, I learned a whole load about swing rigs today – members are really friendly and supportive.

Lots of chatter in the bar afterwards about the 2026 IOM Datchet worlds. Was great to hear!
