Sunshine and warm light winds greeted the 34 competitors for day 1 of the IOM Veterans National Championships. With the wind destined to get even lighter as the day went on and some significant shifts proving challenging for the fleet .
Phil Playle dominated the day gaining 3 firsts and 3 seconds from the 9 races sailed.
With the promise of more sunshine, higher temperatures and more wind tomorrow we look set for a great conclusion to the event.

The first IOM handicap of the season saw sunshine and a cool breeze blowing almost straight down the lake. For most of the day this remained towards the top end of Number 1 rigs ensuring fine sailing for the 18 sailors that competed.
As intended in the handicap event, the racing was incredibly close and after 11 races there were very few points splitting the fleet.
I think for today it is worth publishing the full results rather than the abbreviated ones to show just how close things were – click on the table below to see full size.
