IOM Summer Championship and DF95 Summer Series Round 2 3rd June 2018

Due to a combination of weed cutting on Wednesday and a series of days with very little wind there was more than the usual amount of floating hazard. Today was another day of very little wind blowing from a variety of directions. Only 4 races were managed during the morning.

Thanks go to all the skippers who suffered the frustrating conditions cheerfully and pitched in with help where appropriate.

Finally thanks to Roger who, as usual, was first to the lake and last away.

IOM Summer Series Round 2 27th May 2018

A great summers morning at Scotland farm, sunshine and a good breeze and Chris GBR 74 was on fire in the challenging wind conditions from the North East, and did in fact go on to win, so well done . The breeze increased through the morning and by noon it was right at the top end of A suit, very gusty and shifty, Course laying was difficult, and it was always going to be one sided wich ever bank you played on, Mick Copper and Chris graves drew on their years of experience to give us all the best options and we managed to get 13 races in before Time was called at 4 minutes to one. Only eight skippers but it was a bank holiday so family comes first, well at least thats what they tell me,

Well done to all the little helpers and the race team for an enjoyable mornings racing No salad reported at this time, in fact for the last two weeks  and the lake looks fantastic

Dragon Force 65 Summer Series Round 2 20th may 2018

Typical DF 65 weather, very light winds but this time with plenty of sunshine. The wind was from the SE giving a beat and run course on the south bank. The wind under the east bank was turbulent leading to some frustrations at the finish.

Keith was clearly master of the conditions ending the day a very worthy winner.

Many thanks to the duty officers for the day, Bob and Pete.

IOM Summer Championship and DF 95 Summer Series Round 1 13th May 2018

Morning started off very chilly but after all sound checks were completed Roger Bacon the OOD called all to order and set a brilliant course from the south bank. 9 skippers,,  that could have been ten took part, but for some missing shrouds !!!!!!  with a decent breeze from the North West and with the tempreture getting warmer as the morning wore on, racing was done in a good tone despite some frustrating salad, on offer,  winner and well deserved Dave Burke in the I.O.M class .

And top dog in the DF 95 class was Ivan Stevenson never being out of the top three, Many thanks to Roger Bacon and all the little helpers for an enjoyable mornings racing .
