IOM Winter Scratch Round 1

Nine skippers took to the water for the opening round of the Winter Scratch Series, greeted by a shifty 10-knot NW breeze that left sailors debating their rig choice.
Most began the day in A rigs, but after four races, the majority switched to B as conditions evolved. The racing was tight, with plenty of overtaking opportunities for those willing to take risks.
A special shout-out to Jammy Jones, who sailed impressively with his A rig all day despite a broken B rig—securing some fantastic results shoreside.
Top Finishers🥇 Lisa – 16 points (4 wins in the first 5 races sealed a dominant, consistent day)
🥈 Jammy Jones – 20 points (A stellar performance with his A rig)
🥉 Ray – 26 points (A strong showing, always in the mix at the front)
Silver Fleet Results🥇 Jammy Jones – 10 points
🥈 Ian Hey – 15 points
🥉 Rod Marshall – 23 points

Thanks today to Andrew Wardrop, who came along to PRO the day for us.
