Racing for 26/1/13 re-scheduled due to ice

As of this evening the lake was still over 80% covered in ice. Taking this into account and allowing for a warmer over night temperature change, it is felt that the lake will be unsuitable to hold Round 4 of the IOM Winter Series. This race has now been re-scheduled for Saturday 9th February. Any members wishing to turn up and try their luck for a social sail, depending on clear water are as always more that welcome.

IOM Winter Series 3, 5/1/13

Round 3 of the Birkenhead IOM Winter Series was a total of 22 skippers arrive for what can only be described as light to drifting conditions. Due to such light conditions it was decided to run with one fleet where only 5 races in total were completed, with race 6 abandoned. After 5 scoring raced and one drop, consistent good sailing from Dave Burke saw him take out the day with a total of 8 points. We had skippers travel from as far as Guildford and Oxford for the day which continues to show the attraction of top level racing at Birkenhead each week.
