Thanks to Chris for both score card and short story:
"Only four in great sailing conditions. Smooth winds mainly from the north and west and warm sun. Triangles 0 6 7. Usual start 8p finish Oo".
Cheers to all for supporting the club's IOM racing and especially those who have been able to take part so far this year.
7 sailors attended the last round in the Jul-Aug series accompanied by sun and a gentle S (most of the time) breeze. Before racing started Dale's boat decided to investigate the trees on the west shore and without Chris' dinghy, required its helm to swim to its rescue. Following that 7 heats were raced on the course B/A, 7, A, B, 7, A, 8/P. Chris had intermittent winch problems and Phil's transmitter batteries failed requiring replacements at the break.
Those on the podium this week are:
1st - M Harcourt (11)
2nd - B Ryde-Weller (13)
3rd - J Smith (17)
The series podium is:
1st - J Richardson (9)
2nd - C Wilson (22)
3rd - M Harcourt (38)
Congratulations to them and to all 19 sailors who took part in the series and contributed to the enjoyment had by all.
Best wishes,
Bruce
Six boats competed in today's event. 'A' Rigs were carried. Westerly breezes powered the fleet around the triangular course:- wz/OR - (8 - 7 - wz) x 2 - 8/P.
The main windward leg was to #8, with the occasional addition of #7 to 'wz'. Plenty of opportunity to change places across the course.
A good result for all - there being no tangles to write home about.
