The IOM Copiers Easter Regatta 2025, initially scheduled for Easter Saturday, was moved to Easter Sunday due the forecast which was for a brisk onshore breeze that would produce surf on the beach making launching impossible.  Easter Sunday, despite it being windier than expected, the sun was shining which boosted enthusiasm and 23 dinghies made it to the beach, with 21 starting the first race. 

As expected this early in the season the patrol boat crews were kept busy with capsizes, leading to one retirement in the first race of three.  The wind eased for the second race over the same windward/leaward course, champagne sailing for some, but too much for others, causing three more retirements due to tiredness.
