DF65 Results 28 September'22

I am indebted to Julyan for providing both the scoresheet and the commentary:

11 sailors competed in a variable NW wind which provided both longer and shorter race times and lots of close finishes, with yachts readily gaining and losing places. With the resulting clustering, visibility was tricky, particularly at the far marks, but keeping a good distance between boats helped them moving forward.

The course was 5/Y,2,3,8,OB,2,3,8,OB/W.

Congratulations to the top three: J Richardson (43), C Wilson (06), I White (28).

IOM September 23rd Race 4

Overdressed for the weather outlook, six stalwart skippers turned out for what was to be a dry morning and competitive racing. A more-or-less Northerly breeze held out admirably for all nine races, across a sort of double triangular course 'B':

Start 6/OR-3-6-7-OB-4-6-7-OB-4/Y Finish.

Tactical windward beats and timely wind shifts favoured the fortunate right to the last race, when #96 experienced a winch failure before the start, which resulted in a handy discard.

This week's podium-three are: in 1st Place - JB #80,

2nd - MT, with #96,

3rd - CW, helm of #06

DF65 Results 21 September 2022

A lovely sunny day with very little wind welcomed 8 sailors, but with a short triangular course set OB/4,O,0,OB/4, the first heat was completed. The wind then rose (very slightly and not for very long) and the decision was made to increase the course to 2 laps and this continued throughout the morning and enabled 8 heats.

JS (277) suffered from stiff bearings and RB (33) had a battery die, but there was some close racing with places changing throughout.

Today's podium: J Bennett (002), I White (28), B Ryde-Weller (142). Congratulations to them.

Best wishes,

Bruce
