DF65 Racing Results 26-Mar'25

I am indebted to Roger for providing me with the scoresheet from today's racing.

A roughly triangular with a breeze which built slowly as the morning progressed enabled 8 heats to be raced.

The top three today were:

1st - J Bennett (13)

2nd - C Salter (15)

3rd - I White (15)

Best wishes,

Bruce

IOM 28th March Race 4

 A fresh, at times squally breeze was tempered by that welcome Sunshine. Six competitors plied their RC yachts around CW's two lap course:-

6/ Ob - (1-2-7-wing) x 2 - B0/ Or.

The start-line angle left helms to figure out whether or not to risk a windward port tack advantage, potentially allowing inshore, leeward boats (on starboard tack) to take an early lead. The leg from #1 to #2 buoy always demanded good vision and quick reflexes. Top of 'A' rig sailing prevailed right up to the Midday "bell" and just beyond.

Three winners on points:- 1st Place - #28 IW(10); 2nd - #06 CW(13); 3rd - #33 RB(19).

IOM 21st March Race 3

A welcome breeze greeted a nine-strong fleet to the start of the day's IOM race event. Three courses were tried and tested:- 

'A': P/Ob - (1-2-Or-5-7) x 2 - Bo/Or.  (4 races).

'B':   "       - (1-5-6) x 2           -    "     .      (1 Race).

'C':    "      - (1-wz-5-6-Ob-4) x 2 - wz/ Or. ((3 races),'wz' for last two)).

The Sou'easter veered somewhat, hence the change of course(s) after the break. A steady wind increase made for fast sailing and focused competition.

The rescue boat was called out to release #71 from the west bank,

and continued with the laying of two new course marks - Orange (South) and Yellow (North). 

(BTW - a scorer's prerogative may appear to have been implemented, without any effect to the overall finishing positions). 

Top trio on points:-1st Place - #30 CS(13); 2nd - #06 CW(13); 3rd- #85 TRS(16).
