DF65 Racing Results 25-Sep'24

8 skippers arrived at a Lakeside bathed in warm sunshine and a light wind, which was forecast to build towards lunchtime. Chris set a course of B/R, P, 0, B, P, 0, B/R which held for 7 heats giving just 1 discard.

The wind did build a little over the 2 hours, and the different strategies available on the beats gave plenty of opportunity to gain or lose places.

Those taking the quickest route today were:

1st - J Richardson (9)

2nd - C Wilson (16)

3rd - R Dyer (19)

Well done to them and to all for an enjoyable sail.

Best wishes,

Bruce

IOM 20th September Race 3

A fairly steady N.E. breeze settled in for six competitors. Nine races were sailed over RH's selected course 'A':-  8/P - (wz-6-7) x 2 - Bo/Or.

Prime top-rig conditions kept skippers trimming sails, tuning running and standing rigging and basically trying to get the best out of their yachts' overall performance.

Good racing, great Sailing; looking forward to the next round.

Top three on points were:- 1st Place - #85 TR(15); 2nd - #63 IW(16); 3rd - #16 JR(17).

Racing Results 18-Sep'24

6 sailors gathered at Lakeside at the start of the 3rd round of the Sep-Oct series and held one heat with a course of 8/P, R, 4, 8, R, 4, 8, 1/R. John Smith then arrived after having been held up on the motorway, the course was lengthened to 8/P, R, 4, 7, R, 4, P, 1/R and another 8 heats were raced. The beats provided many opportunities to try out different strategies and places could be easily lost and not so easily gained. However, there was much close racing and many close finishes.

Those on the podium today were:

1st - J Richardson (10)

2nd - C Wilson (19)

3rd - R Brydges (20)

Well done to them and to all for an enjoyable morning soaking up the late summer sunshine.

Best wishes,

Bruce
