Lincoln’s turn for the jubilee trophy came round on Tuesday 15th October and the weather could not have been better, 16 skippers contested the event the last this year with a steady 60% top suit breeze, sunny and not to cold. Chaz Jordan was OOD and kept things moving at a nice pace , Finishing line was run by Roger Bacon and Jackie Hunt with John Gray scoring , Rogers wife helped out in the galley along with Anne and Jackie Quinn and my thanks must go to all who helped make the day go well, 9 races were completed before we had a break for lunch , Pie peas and gravy , topped with mince sauce went down a treat , and to follow apple crumble and custard made it difficult to leave the club house for more racing , John Tushingham was firmly in charge and continued his winning ways into the afternoon with the rest of the fleet struggling to find the same speed, the event was very good natured, with at least three observers for each race. The day ended in good time to have the meeting to discuss the Jubilee for next year, before heading home , A bit of a shame more people from the Lincoln club did not come and have a look and support the event but I guess that’s life. The results are posted below just click the link.

Hi guys and gals , just want to let you know that on Sunday the 20th October it will be the last in the seasons series for Radio Marble heads at the Apex , So dust them boats off and lets have a good turnout , it does not matter if you have only got a I.O.M you will still have some great racing.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE

As you also know the I.O.M veterans Nationals are being held and run by Lincoln Model Yacht club at a change of venue on the 26th/27th October I notice that we only have three entries from Lincoln , Pretty disappointing, especially since 90% of our membership is eligible, but no matter !!  we have been very lucky to obtain probably the best race team in the country to help run the event which as you all know will be held at Sutton in Ashfield sailing club , I do know that one or two of our members will be coming along  to have a look see at what goes on , there is a galley with tea and coffee and snacks,, so why not come and support your fellow club members bring the family along, have a cuppa and a bit of cake and cheer us on,,  you will be assured of a warm welcome at Sutton that I can assure you.

All details including a map are on this site under I.O.M Veterans
