Mid Week IOM Handicap

​The 13 gentlemen who faced the starters gun certainly enjoyed the promised excellent racing in mid A rig conditions on our favoured course on the southern Montrose point.
 
As for the promise of a barmy 14 deg, it was very cold .
 
A full eight handicap races were sailed with the four after lunch in quite light conditions. John Cole Cooks Topico was showing excellent height and boat speed in the calmer conditions.
 
Phil Turnbull had a couple of wins & Chris Wood & John Hall were also sailing well.
 
Hopefully next Wednesday will bring warmer weather. John Hall advised that the dam walkway has now been repaired & it is expected that we might get back there in November.
 
This coming Sunday is our RM State Regatta. Please get entries in by Friday evening. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be quite wet, and windy, with another easterly low influencing the weather for the weekend.
