IOM Rankings 1 & 2

Leave a reply

The IOM Rankings just finished at West Lancs. We had four Datchet team members enter – Craig, Nigel, Austin and Harry. Actually couldn’t see Harry on the results I dont think so maybe he didn’t go – jolly long way!!

Craig, Nigel and Austin all finished in the top third of a hot fleet – Craig says both he and Nigel lost a race each to weed in Ranking 1. Cross!! There’ll be a story to Ranking 2 as well I expect.

Peter Stollery doing well too.

Note Tony Edwards in the secret new Robot boat going well 🙂

Meanwhile, David L was down at Gosport for the Vane Marbleheads – great photos on MYA Downwind (16 entries) , but results awaited.

Radio Sailing Transmitter Manuals – on pdf Printouts or their own websites….?

Leave a reply

Our 2025 pdf downloadable transmitter manuals for Radio Sailing Beginners have so far been popular. As I write, the Beginners Guide to programming the Radiomaster has been downloaded 1,075 times in a bit under a year. Doesn’t sound like many? Well according to AI there are only around 19,000 radio sailors in the World. Makes you think.

To upgrade the Datchet Radio Sailing manuals to include some really sexy radio sailing transmitter ideas, we built a website for each brand – we have Radiomaster, Futaba and Spektrum Manuals online now.

If you haven’t seen them, look for the button saying “RADIOS” on the menu (bar or button) of this Club website.

Naturally we thought the websites would sort of take over the popularity. Then something else unexpected happened – the number pdf downloads of the Beginner Manuals actually accelerated and increased.

Consequently now we’re wondering if the websites need to have pdf downloadable versions of their content. Perhaps readers prefer a repined manual to work from.

It wouldn’t take long to do. Let us know what you think!!
