The Martin Lambert & absent friens trophy also incorperating round two of the I.O.M summer series was sailed in near perfect conditions with tempratures well into the twenties and a great breeze from the south around 8 knots 11 skippers turned out and were not disapointed with the sailing. Chris E started well with a couple of Bullitts and then Rob W showed his hand with three on the bounce, we welcomed a couple of visitors Les and David from Market Bosworth, and it was nice to see the late Martin Lamberts wife, who could not stay for the prize giving but left the winners  some nice refreshments. The breeze remained steady all day and there were some great battles going all all through the fleet and with banter to match about everything from hearing aids to port / starb incidents many turned a blind ear !!!, Star of the day was Jen Hand assistant OOD but more than that it was her big birthday and cake was in abundace Thanks Jen .

Nice to see Chaz racing hard and the second place was definatley on merit, Adrian had one or two probs and departed after three races, Good also to see Mick Cooper getting a couple of 2nds a 3rd and a 4th showing that the consistancy is coming along, something we all would like to be better.

All in all a fab days racing and our thanks got to the OOD Peter Cogill and his Assistant and all the helpers that made this event so nice to sail in.

Close racing

Come on down to Scotland farm and see what it is all about

Great turnout for this up and coming class at the club, 11 skippers arrived and with no wind forecast what could you expect,.,                                         Correct no blooming wind.

Race officer Billy Mac got stuff organised along with great help from Roger Bowtle and other members. Sailing took place on the East bank with a double zig zag to keep the boats closer to the bank. Dave Burke returning from a long lay off took the first race but it was never going to be easy, Keith sailing 39 sailed nice and steady and got some good results before the break, after a cup of strong coffee he did even better recording two bullits The fleet has suddenly bulked up from 4 ish boats to 11 and I do know three more skippers have managed to remortgage their houses and get boats so if the weather is kind we could have 13/14 boats out for round three. Tips on tuning will continue should anybody need it. all in all a great mornings racing in 1 to 2 knots if that.

Well done to Kieth or is it Keith for the top step of the podium and thanks to everybody for making it an enjoyable morning and staying to help put the stuff away
