A fantastic day for racing greeted the 7 competitors who came to the line for the first R M trophy of 2012, with the 10 knot breeze and near perfect conditions gave us a true beat to windward , a triangle sausage course was enough for the six races held, all in top suit conditions . Bob Geary came out a worthy winner with four wins and a second, from the six races. followed by Graham Keightley in second and third spot was taken by David Gunson, sailing a I.O.M gadget, Towards the end Ivan started to get one or two problems on the electrial side , and Gordon never  realized his true potential, The last race was won by Colin Marsden who I am sure was unhappy with his inconsistant set of races, Micks day didnt start to well either with a trip to East Midlands Airport at 0230 am, and his new nuclear powered I.O.M failing badly on the day , overall a great day’s sailing, although in my view 6 races is not enough , for a trophy day , Perhaps the club members should have a vote on 8 or ten races ?
