We have brought forward the start time for the RG65 Popup event to allow for more races with the potential for the light fading rapidly if we started later.
Racing will now start promptly at 11:30 and the club will be open from 10.30 for practice.

IOM 2017 Winter Series #1
14 competitors turned up for the first race of the winter series, including visitors from Scotland and Fleetwood, and were greeted with a good breeze straight down the lake, testing the limits of the number 1 rigs.
Unfortunately, 2 suffered gear failures even before the start so we only had 12 starters.
Nine races were held with the last completed in fading wind and light!

DF65 Autumn Series #16 15th Nov 2017
Nine sailors arrived to find a flat calm lake but very slight wind. One was unable to withstand the pressure of sailing in light winds and opted to be Race Officer! (Dave W)
A short course was set and one race held. A decision was made to have a cup of tea and to see what happened with the wind. Thirty minutes later a course was set away from the clubhouse and 7 more races were held with slightly more wind available.
