I hope everyone enjoyed the sailing this morning as much as I did ! I had a splendid day. The wind was good, the company was good and nothing broke. What more could we wish for.

All boats were IOM and no discards were applied.

2 little Dragons also appeared during the morning but they were fairly well behaved.

I have finally got round to completing the competition results for 1913.Attached below are the combined scores i.e. points scored for both IOM and RM added together.

In summary:-

For IOM                    1st Martin             2nd David G

For RM                      1st Ivan                  2nd Graham

Combined                 1st Martin              2nd Ivan

A total of 14 skippers entered an event during the year. This has to be a testament to Mick’s efforts in encouraging new people into the club.

Today saw the first organised(ish) race at the temporary lake at Scotland Farm. 8 IOMs and 3 Dragons were in attendance with sundry onlookers and interested parties ranging in age from about 8 to a bit older.

The wind was cold from the north west about 10 mph but steady and consistent – something we never had at Apex pit.

Because boats were being lent, mainly by Mick, to encourage interested parties not everyone sailed in all races. I have tried to make allowances where possible and a ” best I can do”results list follows.

1st              Martin          12 points            2 first places

2nd          David              12                         1 first place

3rd           Gordon           21

4th           Colin               25

5th           Mick               29           Shared with a potential member

6th          Alan                30

7th           Ivan                 33                            Best position 2nd

8th          Seymour          33                             Best position 5th

Next Sunday is scheduled to be an RM event – it will be interesting to see if the deep keels can find the shallow places.

Happy sailing
