IOM Winter Series 24/012

What start calm, turned into a good down the lake A Rig. Numbers slightly lower than normal due to other events being on but still a good turnout.

7 yachts hitting the water and 10 races sailed. Peter Iles achieving back to back series victories with his Britpop!

Ian Sinclair in second and Mike Drew pushing him hard!

DF65 Winter Series Rnd 5

A light shifty wind in A+ you could be first off the start and last at the windward mark

Olly taking the win, despite only two race victories! Proving consistency was key, pipping Derek in the last race to take the win

Paul making up the podium, getting some 65 practice in before Sweden

A really good turnout for the 65s

Close racing throughout the fleet with six different race winners.

Mark borrowing Olly’s spare boat before having to leave half way through if you note to 07s on the lake!

IOM Winter Series 2

What started at 10am in a very strong top suit turned quickly into B Rig and by the start of racing C Rig

The waves continued to build and after 5 races, a number of collisions and general lack of control of the yachts in the waves, abandoned

Ian Sinclair (Sedici) taking the victory pipping Olly Murray (Sedici).

Ian losing his jib and backstay in the final race. A good turnout, but a shame the wind became to wild and the waves increasing.

DF95 Winturn Shield Rnd 4

What a glorious day for sailing. Perfect sailing conditions with the wind down the lake allowing a full length, two lap course to be sailed under the guidance of the RO Derek.

To the racing and it was a dominant display by Mark with his Blue Dragon with 10 straight bullets making it a clean sweep of firsts.

Olly and Ian H filling the podium spots and overall there was some very well behaved, competitive sailing.

Again, a great turnout of 13, numbers will continue to grow in the coming weeks.
