A nice day for our first Summer Series sail. Twelve competitors today, providing a nice tight start line and some very interesting results throughout. The line between the Silver and Gold Fleets was quite blurred with many Silver Fleet sailors enjoying some good success throughout. Race wins today to Ian Hey, John Short, and Peter Sylvester from Silver Fleet. Our day was split up today, with 5 races before lunch and season awards, and then another 7 races afterwards. The format of racing today with the lunch break and chat in the middle seemed to be enjoyed by everyone. After our 12 races today, it was all tied up at the top, with Rod Jackman and Lisa Blackwood tied on 26 points each. Rod won the day on countback, owing to his three race wins compared to Lisa's 1. Coming in third was Michael Hickman, on 35 points. One point to note was that newly minted Gold Fleet sailor, Ricky Price came in a very competitive 4th place today - winning the first race of the day. In Silver Fleet, Ian Hey dominated to win on 20 points. Second and third was also tied up between John Short and John Hall both on 28 points. John Short won on countback winning the last 7 races in a row!!!! His other races weren't sailed due to other commitments. That Venti was absolutely flying today. We were blessed with two Pro's today, with Stuart Dawes sharing duties with Les Hanson - both doing a fine job for us - thanks guys. We also had Phil Turnbull come along and grabbed the BBQ and snags for our lunch today. Thanks for feeding us Phil. In the lunch break, we presented awards for season 2024. Way too many to mention here, so I have included a link to the 2024 Season Awards for people to open up and look through. Congratulations to all award recipients, and to everyone who showed up during the year. Coming up This coming Wednesday will be Mid Week IOM Handicap at the dam, button press at 1pm. Next Sunday will be Marblehead Scratch at Montrose, button press at 1pm. Kyle
