Hi Skippers,
With the Laser State Champs on and family commitments we only had 4 skippers at the lake at 1pm.
A decision was made to reschedule the Meter Cup #8 to the Saturday social day ( spare day) on the 26th Sept. All skippers will be back for this so we’ll have a full fleet.
The remaining skippers all enjoyed a very close afternoon of scratch racing in sunshine and 5-8 knot SE winds.
Geoff Morris #96 turned up with his K2 but left his boat batteries at home so he couldn’t sail. Bummer !!!. That left Geoff Wilson #25, Paul Newman #60 and myself #58 to enjoy the afternoon in great sailing conditions.
Final results after 10 heats;
1st Simon Kellett #58 10 points
2nd Geoff Wilson #25 12 points
3rd Paul Newman #60 21 points
It was amazing just how close we all were during each race. It was a lot of fun !!
We didn’t use the buoybots as the fixed marks were in the ideal place for this wind direction.
Where were all the other IOM skippers?
See you all on Tuesday for the 2nd round of our Spring H’cap series.
Happy sailing,
Simon K
