Hi Skippers,
What a fun afternoon for the 8 skippers sailing our social scratch sailing day. We had West / SW winds from 3 knots to 15 knots on the gusts with plenty of lifts and knocks to keep us all on our toes.
John Halloran #83 and Doug Turner #82 were neck and neck for the first 6 heats with both tied at the break for 1st place.
The last 4 heats were intense with one error ( touch on a mark or missing the windward mark) proving very costly. Holding your nerve was key.
A huge welcome to Craig Wiley our Commodore for joining our IOM fleet with a late model TS2 #28. Craig will join us on our Winter H’cap series.
Also welcome to an old club member David Hill #55 who joined us today as a guest.
Congrats to the place getters:
1st John Halloran #83 14 points and 4 race wins
2nd Simon Kellett #141 17 points
3rd Doug Turner #82 21 points
