Hi Skippers,
Sorry for the delay in getting out the final results from Club Champs H’cap #1 IOM sailing.
I had to drive to Brisbane Suncorp stadium dropping off my son and his girlfriend at the Ed Sheeran concert and then hanging around until the finish at 10.30pm.
We had 12 IOM skippers competing in 5 – 8 knot Easterly winds that were very tricky to read. Left and right shifts all afternoon. Mastering the tricky conditions was Geoff Morris. He seemed to be able to find wind on both sides of the course and took out 3 race wins and the days chockies. His H’cap ended on 50 sec.
Paul Golding again had a good afternoon and finished in a tiebreak with me for 2nd and 3rd place.
Congrats to the place getters:
1st Geoff Morris 26 points
2nd Simon Kellett 32 points
3rd Paul Golding 32 points ( on count back)
4th Derick Warne 34 points

It was an afternoon of very close racing with many tight finishes.
A huge thank you to Rob Priest for scoring and running the start box for the afternoon. It was a big advantage having a dedicated scorer with the close sailing.
Thanks to Derick for taking the trailer to Tony’s house so I could get away to Brisbane.
See you all on Tuesday for Summer series H’cap sailing
Happy sailing,
Simon Kellett
