Mid Week IOM Handicap

​A very hot day at the dam today. It must have been in the mid thirties. With 12 boats sailing the usual format in a shifty A rig northerly breeze which had a number of holes and some big wind shifts. Eight handicap races were completed, with all competitors flagging in the heat by the end of sailing.
 
Peter Sylvester made a very welcome return to sailing today. His orange V10 was, as usual, very quick and Peter was sailing well. Kim Potter won 2 races and usually sails with one hand on the bottle of wine but the nasty handicapper has now re allocated him to the pink devision so that might slow his wine consumption a bit – edit, maybe next week though…..
 
As is the new norm the fleet results were split into 2 divisions to spread out the wine winners 
 
Thanks to those who helped with PRO duties & the dinghy. The dam level has dropped a little more but we will stick with it for the next few weeks or so
 
Winner in the White division was Don McLeod, with a win, a couple of seconds and a third making him the most consistent on the day. Well done.
Winner in the Pink division was Kim Potter. The elevation to Pink Division didn’t deter him this week, with a couple of wins really helping. Handicapper is on you though with 15 seconds taken off.
