Saturday 28th December 2024 - IOM Sailing Report

Where do I start? Christmas is over, and Santa didn’t bring me a new boat—maybe I should have left him stuck in the chimney!

Today, I set the course using the top mark and the tree. While this seemed like a good setup, the starts were a shambles, as can be seen, and this chaos continued for the next 60–70 yards.

I started with the B rig, while Adrian T started with the A rig. Later, when I switched to the A rig, Adrian mentioned, "Could have told you so!"

Owen P came along to watch and is slowly getting back to fitness.

A call for water during a race led to a discussion between the sailors involved, which unfortunately caused one member to head home. Just a reminder—it’s not the world champs, but a fun afternoon on the water!

John E had his Woodie sailing nicely today.

Take care,
Cheers,
Ken
