IOM Scratch Summer Series Round 5

Ideal racing conditions (again) at Montrose today from the reports to me.

Sailors used B rigs all day. I must say that when I drove past in the late afternoon, the 10 yachts in the water and the competitors on the point looked fantastic. The skippers all getting great practice for the states next week.

Once the results were processed, it looked like the day was very close throughout.

Wayne Behrens taking the day out with his Corby on 33 points, on countback to Ray Joyce in second.

Third place went to Stu Dawes, on 41 points with his home built Woodie Goth.

First and third with home built Woodies

Just seven points covered 4th through to 8th, indicative of the close racing on the day.

Big thanks this week to Anne Cole-Cook, for helping out with PRO duties on the day. It is really appreciated.

This coming Wednesday is DF95 Handicap racing, starting at 10, and next weekend is the IOM State Championship, on both Saturday and Sunday.

If you are considering competing, the on-line entries are linked on our Ranking Events page.

​If you aren't competing but would like to help out on either or both days, let me know, so I can add your name to a volunteers list. We have a few northern competitors this time, and will be considering having a BBQ afterwards on Saturday if anyone is interested. Just let me know for catering purposes.
