Sunday dawned really nice and the forecast was for light northerly winds and sunshine . The Beaumont cup R.M  was run in the morning with 8 competitors coming to the line 5 R.M’s and 3 IOM’s ,, Now there has been some debate over whether I.O.M’s should race with the Marblehead but it was discussed and apparently the decision was that it was ok . at the lake it would appear that in strong winds the I.O.M would not stand a chance , but in the light they can more than hold there own , and so it was to be . The first race was won by Mick’s nuclear powered Mobster with Ivan coming in second and Bob in third , six races in all were sailed and a different winner in the first four races , the results are shown below and you can also see the updated series results as they have now been published Just one thing ,,, when Ivan and I were working out the sheets for the results Graham was given two discards which gave him a second on the day ,,, I have rectified our mistake and the results below are a true account            ( sorry Graham )

The Queen Mary sailing club trophy was sailed after a nice bit of lunch and cup of tea , only 5 Marbleheads contested the trophy over 6 races and  the result is as follows.

The Fosse Trophy was run on Sunday 13th in a brisk wind from the West South Westish  that had the fleet sailing in B suit  , with no dingy sailors at all to worry about , Sunny but a chill wind . First blood went to Bob , with Graham coming in a close second a great start , David boy Gunson coming home in 5th with the Widget was not really where he wanted to be , The second race was won by Gordon, with David starting to get his act together and Graham slipping to 5th where incidently he came in all the remaining races , Consistant was a word I was looking for , Peter the new kid on the block had a good time sailing Davids Gadget and we hope to see more of him , Colin had a sort of up and down day with a best place of 2nd in the fourth race, and Ivan suffered from fiddly breakages that put him out of two races . The winner  wasDavid boy Gunson so congratulations to him and I am sure the celabrations went on well into the night RESULT AS FOLLOWS
