IOM Mid Week Handicap

Another lovely day at Risdon Brook Dam! Sunny, a temperature in the mid- twenties, and a light North-Wester (2 or 3 knots) blowing down the dam. By race 6 in the afternoon a sea breeze arrived making for some fun racing with the A-rigs. Close finishes were the order of the day.
The rotating PRO system was used today. Thanks to all who participated.
It was great to see Dave Woolley racing his V11 (the red hulled No.55) for the first time. Dave scored a couple of podium finishes too!
Pete Turner took out third place overall with the Mad Max especially enjoying the light conditions of the morning.
Ray Joyce regularly features in the placings on Wednesday and took out second today. Especially good sailing as otherwise the back markers found it difficult to make an impression on the fleet.
And Today’s winner was Ricky Price with a score-sheet showing that he was consistently at the pointy end of the fleet.
All up it was just enjoyable to be sailing. It was the type of day where you could have easily raced on until sundown.
