IOM Mid Week Handicap

​An enthusiastic group of 16 skippers fronted up to a mill pond dam this morning, however by the time 11 am rolled around there was just the hint of breeze so racing commenced.

Good to see Kim Potter back racing 90.

With our intrepid Wednesday coordinato,r John Short having a quick break in the Whitsunday's, Chris Wood brought along his brother Andrew ( the good looking of the pair) who kindly handled the finishing line for us.

It would be nice to report that sailing conditions improved but that was not really the case with light conditions continuing interspersed with plenty of holes. 

Nevertheless, we had some close racing & managed to compete 9 races.

John Murrell & Rob Cooney had 2 wins each. Their consistently good results earning them first and second today respectively (John on 24 points and Rob on 27 points). Coming in third was Ray Joyce, with 31 points.

Interesting to note that 3rd place to 10th was separated by just 8 points.

Sundays sailing is RM Winter Scratch (round 6), starting at 10am
