A warm Southwesterly with the forecast 15-16 gusting to 25-30 mph welcomed a total of 14 skippers, 12 IOM and 2 DF95. Various problems and failures reduced the IOM fleet to 7 and limited the DF event to 5 races.
The duty team were reduced due to the lack of Gordon,who we wish a speedy recovery, but a tight race was run by Phil, ably assisted by Joe.
