IOM Fun Wednesday – 12th February 2025

Shifty weather has been the rule of thumb for our sailing sessions on the 9th and 12th of February. Despite the conditions, we had some great sailing.

A big thank you to Nigel A, who took the dinghy home and did an excellent job fixing the buffer material around the gunnel. While at his place, we had a great chat about boats, and I’ve included some photos of a beautiful sailing boat he built—though my pictures don’t do justice to his craftsmanship.

Nigel also shared stories about working on a massive sailing vessel and the parts he worked on, where his skills were fully put to use. Thanks again, Nigel, for your hard work on the dinghy!

Cheers,
Ken
