Lettie Hyatt successfully defending the Green Cup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There was a great turnout of 13 competitors to take part in the race to Laxey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sailing conditions were excellent for a change, the wind wasn’t on the nose which always helps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first boats crossed the line in Laxey Bay in just under 2 hours with the top 3 only separated by 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior Lettie Hyett took line honours, successfully defending her crown from last year, with Joe and Eric Whitelegg in second and Anthony Ellis in third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Keith Poole for officer of the day, hopefully he had time for an ice cream while waiting for the boats to arrive. Thanks also to the patrol boat crews who make the event possible. For more photos visit the MS&CC Facebook page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laxey Regatta took place the following day which started with a promising light breeze of 5 knots increasing at times by a few knots. Closer to launch time it had eased back which disheartened some who elected not to venture out to the start line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight optimistic\u00a0crew gathered in the starting area, despite the wind having dropped, hovering around 3 knots. Race Officer Keith Poole (on loan from the MS&CC) chatted to a number of the competitors and it was decided to go ahead. Race 1 was light and for the most part steady with Ffinlo Wright 1st, Simon Pressly 2nd with a dead heat between Keith Holden and Bob Love in 3rd. Race 2 started promisingly but the voids in the wind were approaching quickly and soon put a dampener on things so it was cut short after the first\u00a0lap, similar results with Ffinlo 1st, Simon 2nd and Keith 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
