DF 95 report ,,A great day dawned good breeze and wall to wall sunshine 13 skippers enjoyed the morning and the race officers did a fab job , A little on the DF 95 racing it was nick and tuck and a little frustrating due to a bit of salad but more of that in the next report for the I.O.M it was all taken in good spirit, and we all had a great morning, Alan had to retire with a dead rudder servo.

I.O.M Championship

At the end of the day three Brit Pops took top spots and many congratulations to Jen Hand for leading the bouys home, all I can say is it must be a good trim you had on today Jen. Nice to see Roger Bowtle  right up there with his Lintel, and great to see Chaz back racing, after his visit to specsavers.

Apologies for the delay in publishing the results. I departed immediately after the racing and forgot the race sheet.

Temperatures in the high twenties and and a shifty wind from ( nominally ) the NE which varied in strength fom very little to a strength which almost tested the A+ rigs. The course set by the race team provided some good windward sailing to the first mark all morning.

No skipper really ran away with it and the final results were predictably close.

Thanks to Keith and Bill for keeping the skippers on their toes all morning.

The recent weather conspird against the 9 skippers who turned out today. Due to the lack of significant wind the weed was still out in the body of the lake instead of being blown to one or other of the banks. Todays wind was similar, varying in strength from nothing to not vry much and in direction from NW to SE.

Thanks to Graham and Doug for getting the best out of a very frustrating morning.

12 skippers were greeted by a great “WsW breeze 12 to 14 knots , warm and racing started on the South Bank. Keith Holmes was quick of the mark with two bullits with his old I.O.M the ” Cheinz”. The Lake after the big cut on Wednesday and the strong south westerly was free of weed and some  very processional races,  Things improved after the coffee break when racing was moved to the East bank and a decent beat long beat made racing much better and the breeze at times was 90% of top rig, and gave for some very interesting races. The Sedici GBR 46 found the sweet spot and apart from a couple of premature starts had a consistant morning in preperation for the upcoming ranking next weekend, in darkest Southport.

Thanks to the race officer Chris Elliott

and many thanks to all who signed Bobs card which has duly been delivered.
