Six yachts came to the line to contest the Roden Trophy in flat calm conditions at the start , the wind did eventually fill in from the North East to give some good competitive racing, Problems with the start box continue and so everybody took turns in doing the countdown and it was quite obvious that multi tasking is quite dificult as the concentration required to do both is impossible for the over sixty’s .This should have been an all day event that was mared by both weed and the disrespect of the dingy’s sailing straight through our course and in the event the afternoon match racing was cancelled , Graham K was also sailing out of class with a R.M so his results will not count in the series and should also be discounted in the results below ,,, meaning that David G won with a very respectable 10 points , well done to him,

Hi everybody I must apolagise for not putting these results up sooner it had completley slipped my mind. Ivan reported it was a splended blow from the south west which meant everybody was on B rig all morning , the weather was sunny and bright but the tempreture was a bit low. An ex member Peter Foster turned up with David and enjoyed his day , Ivan had a bit of bad luck when he broke a shrould and had to sail with C suit ( a bit to small for the conditions and not competetive ) Ivan now hates I.O.M’s because they are far to small and fiddly ok . Looks like David just about won it it with Bob coming in second and colin coming home mid fleet . rsults below and all will soon be put on the series sheet as promised ,, Like Ivan I also have a hate ( computers ).
