Good showing by Club at Fleetwood Twixmas IOM Event

Seven club members travelled to Fleetwood for the annual Twixmas Regatta on Sunday 29th January.  It was a great days sailing with everyone in B rigs for the whole day with the wind very nearly straight down the lake.  The forecast of an increasing wind never materialising during the racing period so no rig changes were needed.

All seven club sailors finished in the top ten (just) with Brad Gibson narrowly winning the event from Rob Walsh of Fleetwood.  Chris Harris (Windrush) was third and then Graham Elliott and Martin Roberts took fourth and fifth places.  The day proved to be difficult to be consistent for some and after the top 5, the next seven places were separated by only ten points.  Fleetwood at its best and a great but challenging days sailing.  Always worth travelling to if you can at this time of the year.
