Hi Skippers,
With a warm day expected we were dealing with a 5-12 knot NE wind into “Death Corner ”
10 skippers signed up but Mark Burton had rudder issues with his new IOM and ended up scoring and running the start box. The remaining 9 sailors enjoyed a very close afternoon of IOM sailing as the h’caps kept the scores very close. At the 1/2 way point there was 3 points between 6 skippers. Geoff Wilson had the lead by 2 points and held his nerve for the last 5 heats and won the day. Well sailed !!
There were many skippers having close battles with others during many heats. Derick Warne and Geoff Morris were chasing each other around while John Halloran had the finish of the day weaving between 3 skippers as 4 boats were trying to cross the finish line.
Congrats to the place getters:
1st Geoff Wilson #25 24 points
2nd Geoff Morris #96 31 points
3rd Derick Warne #97 33 points

Weed was the big drama for all skippers today. It was important to check your keel after each heat. I don’t know why it’s so bad at the moment??
Thanks to all for helping out packing up the buoybots and flags.
See you all on Tuesday for our Spring Series H’cap sailing.
A great fun afternoon for all.!!
Happy sailing,
Simon K
