12 competitors came to the line for the last in the summer I.O.M series round ten, over the summer 28 skippers have at some stage come to Scotland Farm to contest the series, The weather forecast delivered perfect blue sky’s and a steady south west wind of around 10/12 knots. Neil Coleman took on the duties of R,O. The line had a slight stb bias but once started it was a long first beat ,, Mick C 46 got well into his stride with his new V9 closely followed by Dave Thomas, also with a V9 and fresh from his Victory in the Clive Hand the previous week, Alan Newman with his AB4 got third spot in the opening race, The racing was good-natured and friendly. With Mick C taking the first 8 races out of 10 there was only going to be one winner in this one. There was some good individual sailing and on a number of occasions, new comer Geoff Burrell 51 showed lightning speed, so he is one to watch for the future. Alan Newman sailed very well and should take a lot from this performance. Results are below for your records . Many thanks to Neil for the R O duties
