Wow another great racing day at the farm, South Westerly a good few knots and B rig was the order for the day , Talk of changing to A rig, later did not materialise, we all clubbed together to get everything sorted after Roger B had got all gear out and ready , Dave R did the briefing, but funny how some people just forget to pack the wrong rig , and realise the DF 95 rigs don’t fit the DF 65 boat, oh dear , but , who should come to the rescue , Martyn with a totally spare set of rigs, Thanks mate , a few minor adjustmenst and were ready to go, so sailing under the number 70 Mick C normally 46 got of to a good start winning the first two races , the second by a whisker from Martyn right on the finish line. Racing was much tighter than it looks on paper with some skippers mastering the tricky beat , 3 of them in each race , better than others, and the downwind was just as tricky, Mike W strung together 5 third places , very consistent during the second half and it was also interesting to see Alan E lead one of the races for the first lap. Jen H was a little up and down but managed to get a win on the board as did Dave R, but on this occasion Mick C with borrowed rigs was not holding back, and took 6 wins from the 8 races , Long course ‘s reduced by one lap for the last three races kept the race numbers down, but it was great racing and apart from Dave C who receiver gave out in the later stages, I am sure everybody went home happy, well done to Mick C for the win , and well done to all who helped out in the absence of an OOD . That’s it for 2023.

So enjoy your Winter break and we shall be back on the 7th January for the first race of the new year, it will be IOM’s and something I for sure am looking forward to

Merry Xmas all Lincoln Skippers and follower’s and a happy winning 2024 to you all
