• IOM Copiers Easter Regatta - POSTPONED TO SUNDAY 20 April

    Due to the weather forecast for Saturday it has been decided to postpone the Regatta to Sunday with a 14.00 start time. Hopefully this won't disrupt too many plans but the strong easterly wind means that it will be extremely difficult for competitors to launch off the beach!! After the usual mix of weather over the winter on Injebreck it will be nice to return to the sea and the start of the MS&CC...

  • Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 16 February 2025

The gentle south easterly wind blew mostly up the lake, the odd waft here and there, difficult to call then gusts and of course the usual deadly hollows. The fleet of thirteen started Race one and quickly sorted themselves...

  • Watling Streetworks Winter Series - 2 February 2025

    Another Sunday morning in the Baldwin Valley that missed the winter gales that the rest of the Island were experiencing.  I’d like to say the sun was shining too for the first of the February Watling Streetworks Series of dinghy racing but it did at least stop raining for a great fleet of 15 boats.
