IOM 21st February Race 8

Six boats, their helms and a moderate southerly all arrived on time to take part in this morning's IOM club race event. Working rigs for all helped to level the fleet's playing field for a well-fought-out ten races. Course 'A' got a couple of modifications: swapping out #3 mark for #2 first time round and a finish line beyond 5/P, hence:-  Bo/Or - (7-Am[ber]-1-2) x 2 - 7/Am. Fast sailing for the most part: tactical zig-zags up to #7, some catching up downwind to marks 1 and 2. 

Top three on points:- 

1st Place - #43 RD(12); 2nd - #16 JR(15); 3rd - #06 CW(26).

DF65 Racing Results 19-Feb'25

9 skippers arrived at Lakeside for the 5th race to be sailed in the Jan-Feb series. The light SE dictated a course of B/A, R, A, B, R, A, B, P/Y which provided some interesting if unpredictable lifts towards the windward mark and equally variability towards "A". 51 suffered a failed sail winch and had to retire causing a launch of the rescue dinghy and a early break after 3 heats.

The top three were very close today:

1st - R Dyer (14)

2nd - C Wilson (14)

4rd - J Richardson (16)

Well done to them and for an enjoyable morning's sailing.

Best wishes,

Bruce

IOM 14th February Race 7

A breezy South-easterly greeted eight IOM competitors to the start of racing at 10 o'clock.

'A', or top rigs experienced testing conditions. Two yachts were retired early on with rig issues. TRS contributed to the main course of the morning by adding two upwind legs #'s 4-8/ 5-7 from race #2 onwards, to give us course 'B': Bo/Or - 7-1-4-8-5-7-1-2 - P/Ob. 

Yacht position changes were prolific; fleet racing was close from line to line.

Great sailing!

Top three on points:-1st Place - #43 RD(7); 2nd - #85 TRS(15); 3RD - #44 BRW(17).
