Dragon Force 65 Winter Series Round 2 20th November 2016
DF 65 events were getting a reputation for being “no wind” events. All that has now changed! A cold wind blew in from a little west of north which put even B rigged boats to the test. By the end of racing 8 boats had been reduced to 5 by a combination of boat problems and a “too cold to function properly” skipper.
Congratulations to Chris Elliott for an impressive set of results
Congratulatons also to Chaz and Geoff for keeping the event moving at a pace which did not allow for too much standing around and getting any colder.
IOM Winter Series Round 1 13th November 2016
A fantastic Mornings racing at Scotland farm 13 skippers contested round one of the Winter series in clear sky’s and a gentle 8/10 knot north westerly.
A warm welcome to Craig Raistrick 62 sailing his MX 16. Sailing took place on the South Bank, and the competition was hot, Gordon Bennett was sailing his Brit Pop for the first time, and I can divulge he is very happy. Mick Chamberlain took the honours on the day with the V9 in a hard fought set of races. Our greatest thanks go to Norman Fish who got the boat round and set up the racing for us all and Alan Edgar who did our scoring, well done to both of you. Look out for the next round, check the calendar for full details.

I.O.M WINTER SERIES 2016-7
Hi Everybody , as you know mistakes are sometimes made , A certain person who shall remain nameless M.C, posted the end of series result here before discards had been taken into account, It was pointed out by a member at the club and has now been rectified and the correct results posted below.
What it means is, there may be some place changes but probably more importantly 1st place has changed, I am positive there will be debate on this. But for now Congratulations to the winner Mick Chamberlain, who won three out of the seven heats. What is even more remarkable is that Mick Cooper who only started sailing 15 months ago came 4th in the series because in effect it is your best 5 races out of 7 , ” in it to win it “
DF95 NATIONALS AT LINCOLN
Come to a lake in Lincoln that doesn’t even show up on google maps they said, in November they said, it will be freezing cold & blow a gale they said, it’ll rain, you’ll get muddy and parts of your body will go numb they said. Well they weren’t wrong but I’m still happy I said yes to the inaugural DF95 Nationals at Lincoln Model Yacht Club.
