IOM Youth Dinghy Championships

This weekend we were lucky enough to be the hosts of the 2023 edition of the IOM Youth Championships. We probably could have timed the event better to allow those studying for GCSE exams to compete but being slightly older people when choosing a date it didn’t cross our minds – Sorry! It turned into…

IOM Copiers Easter Regatta 2023

Write up by Keith Poole The weather forecast for the IOM Copiers Easter Regatta looked promising, 12 to 15 knots with occasional sunshine, this certainly encouraged plenty of people to turn up to the Manx Sailing & Cruising Club in Ramsey.  In reality the 14 to 17 knots from the Southeast that was generating some…

Watling Streetworks Winter Series – 26 March 2023

With the wind from the north and a nip in the air reminding us that, although this is the first day of spring and the final races, it is still the Watling Streetworks ‘Winter’ Series. The race officer was, with the wind blowing down the valley, able to set a starboard course (clockwise), up the…

Watling Streetworks Winter Series – 19 March 2023

Report by Andrew Dean A gentle northerly breeze greeted the 9 strong fleet at Injebreck reservoir, with a few absences of the young hot shots, away training and competing.  A few stronger gusts came through to liven things up before the start, but during the race the wind fell away.  The fleet of 9 boats…

Watling Streetworks Winter Series – 12 March 2023

Report by Jerry Colman A light to moderate, pleasantly warm south-westerly wind and some stunning Manx snowy hill scenery greeted the eight boats for this the second day’s racing of the Watling Streetworks Spring Series on Baldwin reservoir.  The port course saw the fleet rounding marks 1, 3 and 5 before tacking back to the…

Watling Streetworks Winter Series – 26 February 2023

‘About as good as it gets’ is the best way to describe conditions for the final round of the Watling Streetworks February Series. Unusually for the West Baldwin reservoir the wind coming from the north down the valley not only gives almost full coverage of wind but also tames the gusts and lulls. For the…
