Started in a solid 18Knot SW Breeze Abating to 15Kn
Southerly
Temperature 13 degrees
11 Boats [8 IOM’s 3 A class] – Peter Hendy out with rudder
servo issues
We welcomed a new sailor to our club, John Gratton had a
couple of good races and placed very well (he probably would have
given everyone a shakeup at the top if he had made the ranking race)
11 Scored races were completed
The Racing was really great to watch, several close
finishes were witnessed and it was great to see the different
classes mixing it right up to the line.
Eventually Chris Jutner came to the top step of the podium
with is IOM many of the races came down to who managed to execute a
clean tack 10m from the finish line.
Quite spectacular seeing two or three IOMs tacking in sync
with an A class!
There were a few worrisome incidents on the water between A
class boats and IOMs, where boats became pinned under water!
We ask the skippers to please learn from these incidents
and prevent them! 14Kg Displacement Boats vs 4Kg – is messy! Also
skippers need to have an understanding of some classes limitations
and plan accordingly.
Please be aware of this when in close proximity. Rules mean
nothing if you or your fellow competitor is picking up a sunk boat,
this is not acceptable!
There is also way too much coming in on the Port, on the
Layline at a top mark and barging in! This behaviour is dangerous
and not very sporting, then not doing or arguing about a penalty
when called is really poor on the skippers behalf!
We don’t want club members to be hesitant about sailing because they are in fear of getting their boat broken!

Started in a solid 15Knot Southerly Breeze Abating to 10Kn SW
8 Boats [5 DF95 and 3 DF65] – Leigh Richardson and Anthony
Wilson out with boom vang and winch failure
Anthony a new member going through the paperwork process
now
10 Scored races complete
The DF racing got of to a flying Start with DF95s going
strong out of the blocks
Chris Jutner kept them honest with the sole remaining DF65,
eventually it become a two horse race with John More (DF95) and
Chris (DF65) duking-it-out for the top step
Eventually John More kicked Chris of the top step and
called it his own, with a well deserved win!
The back half of the score card had its own challenges with
a 4 way countback: Norm, Jeff, Mike and Johan all on 24 points
Our only observation was there were a few mark
infringements made that penalties were not taken for: if a part of
the boat or her equipment touches the mark a penalty should be
taken.
So please if you have still have rounded the mark correctly
and have struck the mark, don’t wait for a call!. Pull off the
race course and do your penalty and feel good about doing the right
thing!
