DF95 Summer Scratch Round 1

A transfer to the dam today.

Congrats to ray Joyce, taking the win today, with 23 points.

Chris Wood was two behind in second, with 25 points and Lisa Blackwood rounded out the three, a further 8 behind, on 33 points.

Some notes for the day, places 3 to 7 were separated by just 7 points, showing the closeness of the field.

One of our newer members, Andrew Price, picked aup a second in the 9th race, a highlight of the day for him. Well done. Hopefully there will be many more great placings to come.

On handicap, Lisa Blackwood won the day with 4 net points, with John Hall coming in second with 2 net points, with Chris Wood taking third place with 1 net points.

We also had 5 sailors on 0 net points, showing the robustness of the maths behind the handicap.

Wednesday, as emailed earlier last week, is a combination day at Risdon Brook dam, with the IOM Handicap starting early at  1030, hopefully for 8 races for the Australia Day Handicap Shield, followed by a BBQ lunch break and club meeting to discuss options for the Montrose launching area, and then for a scratch race afternoon for IOM and A Class yachts after the meeting.
