Well what a day. Summer? What’s summer?

Upon arrival the wind was strong blowing a solid B Rig almost down the lake. The course was set having two lengths of the lake (yes a lot of steps).

Rocking up 13k steps and 6.5 miles on the Garmin reinforces how privileged we are to sail at Fleetwood!

The chop was ever growing and in the end the racing turned into the Volvo Ocean race

To the racing, race 1 was a battle between Mark and Gordon with the fleet in B Rig. Race 2 Terry stormed out the gates and took his first ever IOM race victory at Fleetwood!!

In the middle section, John Eric, Derek and Tony stayed in B rig whilst the fleet went to C Rig which paid off boosting their scores with the long runs on show.

After lunch, the above individuals stayed in B rig but it didn’t pay off this time. Gordon, who had a Tuesday night practice in similar conditions shows that practice pays off and flew round taking 5 on the bounce in C rig.

A good days sailing, the proposal is to hold a pop up on the 15th with a few visitors showing interest.
