IOM Winter Championship and DF95 Winter Series Round 4 7th January 2018
2018 has arrived , chilly but bright and eleven skippers from the club had a very enjoyable morning in the split fleets. Round four of the I.O.M Championship was won by Chris Graves with seven wins from eleven races and a very consistant performance whith his white britpop, it seems that 69 is a very popular number in the club if you look at the first three places. Consistancy is king and as you can see Mick Cooper had a couple of second places and a couple of thirds, Roger Bowtle also got a second in a very old design and looked to be going well on occasions. The wind was light to start from the North East , staright down the east bank but increased as the morning progressed, Many thanks to our OOD’s Roger and Gordon for keeping things moving.

The DfF 95 fleet could have been six but hey ho some very close racing throughout the morning in beautiful sunshine made the crispy cold morning well worth while. Unfortunatley ED had electrical problems after the first race and could play no further part.
We now have a lot of water in the lake due to the heavy rainfall so some jetty’s may get a bit wet, so wellies could be good in future . Results below.

DF 65 Winter Series Round 4 3rd December 2017
Well a chilly day and nobody missed to much the day after the AGM , plenty of salad unfortunatley made it a bit of a lottery. Ivan decided not to sail on the day and kindly did the scores , wind was very light and it really was cold, some of the new bouys were on the lake and look very bright. Very sorry but cant think of much more to say. Except this was the first day of the A + rigs and for those that dont have one yet I am reliably informed they will be in stock by a well known supplier before Xmas so if the wife says what do you want for Xmas, Slippers wont help
thanks to Alan E and Ivan for setting it all up

Mick – I have marked those skippers who were using A+ rigs for interest, you can leave them in or delete them as you see fit.
