IOM Copiers Easter Regatta

Write up by Jerry Colman What a fantastic day at the MS&CC Easter Regatta! It’s traditionally scheduled for Easter Saturday (April 4th this year) and also traditionally delayed due to weather as occurred this year due to the appearance of Storm Dave. The postponed event took place on Sunday 19th April in gorgeous sunshine and a light to moderate (but shifty) North Westerly breeze so with Ramsey Bay l...

Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 22 March 2026

Write up by Jerry Colman Tom Watterson (RS Aero 7) sailed just well enough to take the March Series on Sunday from Dave Batchelor (Supernova). Both finished on 11 points after discards but Watterson had 3 first places against Batchelor’s 1 so countback gave it to Tom. Next down the leader board came Ralph Kee (Laser standard), Joe and Eric Whitelegg (Enterprise) and Jimmy Cope (Tera PR) with a win each, s...

Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 15 February 2026

However on arrival we found the weather to be reasonably warm, cloud level a bit above the water and a gentle...

Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 1 March 2026

Write up by Jerry Colman Back from the RYA Boat Show in Farnborough, your correspondent was looking forward to a pleasant sail around Injebreck to refresh his love of the sport but after launching came a warning that conditions on the lake were a bit much for the seniors with the big rigs. He discreetly retired together with junior Jake Walker (RS Tera) while Dad James (Streaker) and 6 others decided to tough it...

Watling Streetworks Winter Series – 6 January 2019

The first dinghy racing of 2019 took place on West Baldwin reservoir on Sunday morning, Round 1 of the Watling Streetworks Winter Series.

The forecast was of westerly and variable breeze and was spot on, it was very variable. Early birds reported that there was no wind but whilst the masses rigged their dinghies it became a bit gusty only for it to drop off to just variable, in strength and direction too.
