15/06 – IOM Pop up event to be organised

There were 15 entries representing the following Clubs:

Fleetwood, Gosport, Hampton Court, Leeds & Bradford, Levenhall and the Vintage Model Yacht Group.

On both days the wind was extremely light from the North at race commencement, then gradually increasing in strength blowing from the  N West, giving ideal top suit sailing conditions, with most skippers starting to use spinnakers.

Eight heats were sailed on Saturday and the remaining 7 heats completed by 4-00 pm on Sunday.

A glorious nights sailing, although the wind was light and at times flukey

There were only 4 entries today as some of our skippers were racing R/C yachts at away venues, and others were still on holiday.

The wind was light, so all yachts were in top suits. Initially the wind was from the SE, giving tricky conditions. The first round was completed before lunch, then at restart the wind had changed right round and blowing from the W, giving a 3 or 4 tack beat to the W end of the lake. After the first heat of round 2, the wind strength dropped almost to nil and became quite variable in direction. However, the second round was completed by 4-00 pm.

3rd    Alan Crawforth               9
