A beautiful for anything but sailing!!

Beautiful as the weather has been this summer it has been rubbish for sailing!  Unfortunately the IOM Copiers Round the Island Race succumbed and there were no finishers due to the lack of wind.

MS&CC would like to thank Mark Corrin of IOM Copiers for sponsoring the event and for the excellent BBQ held at the clubhouse the evening before the event.
