10 skippers arrived to a very light variable westerly wind which slowly shifted further to the SW over the day and increased in strength. Some close racing was had over the day. It was great to see young skipper Andrew Benson have a full days racing with Ernie rice kindly stepping in to perform the PRO duties and loaning his boat to Andrew. Well done Ernie.

IOM Club Championship 8, 25/8/12
Lovely NW breeze gusting from 6-12 knots blowing straight down the middle of the lake made for some fantastic A rig racing. From Martin and Brad fighting hard at the top didn’t have things their own way with Rob McIntosh, Graham Birkett and Richard Hampson always in the mix. A convincing race win in heat 9 after a change to B rig saw Bill Culshaw also top off a fine day’s racing.
Next week sees Marblehead racing at the club.
