IOM 25th April Race 8 Final

The ESE/ SE breeze enabled full use of the lake with CW's corrected course 'A':-

P/Ob - (Or/p-4/p-6/p-7/p-5/s) x 2 -  1/ Or; (where p and s are port-hand and starboard-hand marks respectively).

Our invited guest, Nick took the helm of TR's newly restored blue V9 - '71B' for four races. Results reflect close racing with tight, fleet finishes over the lengthy circuit. Sail numbers 33 and 06 shared the sum of line honours. All told there were seven windward stretches over one race including the initial fetch: Start to Or. A taxing course was well rewarded by a great morning's racing.


Today's "Top-Knots" are:- 1st Place - #06 CW(7); 2nd - #33 RB(11); 3rd -#28 IW(13).


Series Honours go to:- 1stPlace - #06 CW(8); 2nd - #28 IW(12); 3rd - #33 RB(18).


Thank you all for taking part and for supporting the club's IOM Friday race

event throughout the IOM Seasons' Series.



 
 
 

IOM 18th April Race 7

Top-of-'A' Rig conditions sustained a fleet of six boats for nine races.

Course:- 3/ Yx - 7 - (Yx-4-7) x 2 - Ys - 1 - 4/8.

Plenty of rig trimming on and off the water kept helms busy, as did

the more than occasional gusts across the lake.

The leg from 4 to 7 provided some entertaining tactics.

An enjoyable, tangle-free sailing session was had by all, including

interested supporters.


Top three on points:- 1st Place - #30 CS(7); 2nd - #03 RH(16); 3rd - #33 RB(18).




 
 
 

DF65 Racing Results 16-Apr'25

I am indebted to Roger for providing the score sheet, course and commentary:


A stiff breeze and threatening clouds welcomed nine sailors to the lake including a debut performance from Nick Tattersall sailing one of Chris’s boats (00). The wind was primarily SSW, but in the gusts would sometimes veer 40-50°. The start line between a laid mark and 2 gave a good beat to the pink mark and then a short fetch or sometimes a reach to a laid mark inshore. After that it was a hairy run or broad reach to the new bright yellow mark before reaching out to 1 and another lap of the rectangular course. The finish line was between 4 and 8. Julyan made his A Rig work well while everyone else was easing sheets or simply hanging on in the gusts with the A+. The rain mostly stayed away but it was day for wrapping up warm. A good morning was had by all.


Best wishes,

Bruce
