Hi Skippers,
It was the first round of our Spring Tuesday H’cap series today and we were greeted to 15 -18 knot SE winds and a cooler day standing at the lake.
10 skippers started to day on B rigs so it was a lot of fun sailing downwind when a gust hit and your boat. Speed , Speed, Speed !!!
Thanks to Rob Priest for electing to score and run the start box for the afternoon. Thanks so much for your good effort.
It was an afternoon of attrition with only 5 yachts finishing the day in Heat 10.
Once again Geoff Morris was on fire and won the day taking out 2 heat wins and many podium finishes. Well sailed in the strong breeze!!
John Halloran also was having a good afternoon. In many races he was in a tight battle with Tony Silver crossing tacks and sailing side by side. A fun afternoon !! Thanks to all for a fun afternoon.
Congrats to the place getters:
1st Geoff Morris #96 16 points
2nd Simon Kellett #141 19 points
3rd John Halloran #03 ( 83 ) 27 points

Thanks to Tony Silver for taking the trailer and to all for helping with the dinghy and pack up.
A very nice afternoon of tight IOM sailing in plenty of breeze.
I have raked the beach and shallows for glass were we launch the dinghy and got 2 pieces of glass. I think that is it but to be sure maybe use shoes when launching the dinghy.
See you all on Saturday for or Meter Cup scratch / H’cap series.
Happy sailing,
Simon K
