IOM Winter Series 2022/3 #3 (7/1/23)

The expected gales for the North West seemed to miss Gautby Road. The little wind that did appear was not consistent, initially from over the houses then veering from the clubhouse end. A course was eventually set and racing started with the 10 competing sailors on their best behaviour on the start line with very few call backs.

  1. The wind was very difficult to predict especially approaching the finish line where a few expected winners lost out. 10 races were held with the final race reduced to one lap due to failing light and the disappearance of the wind totally. The racing was very close with only one point between 1st and 2nd and two sets of tied points. 5 different makes of boat were sailed.  Many thanks to Dave Williams for running the racing today.
