2011 Club Championship Results for SARYC

IOM Club Championships

Race 3  Blustery conditions to 15+ knots and choppy seas made the it difficult for sailors but the one metres handled the conditions well.  With the wind from the NW it was out to that buoy where the sun glare is a real problem but once again it was handled well.

Race 2

In the second heat of the IOM Club Champion competition the morning started out with slight winds with greatly varying directions however it settled down until after the BBQ lunch to s steady good South Westerly breeze. Competition was close with Jeff Watson giving Ben Morris some curry and Brian Purvis making himself known to both of them. Brian lent Jeff Roberts a IOM to try out and told him that it would be good for 1 race. He was right as usual - it did. Better luck next time Jeff.

Race 1

10R Club Championships

Race 4:  A great day with NE winds from 6 to 12 knots gusts to 15knots or so and sunny conditions most of the day.  Alan was most competitive with his new 10R (00) and as very pleased with it's potential but unfortunately had to finish the day with his marblehead. Ian had good boat speed and Tyler creamed everyone in race one and nearly repeated it he next race.  Thanks to Jeff for PRO today- he will get his average points for this event so it looks like he has taken the series again

Race 3: Sailed in light to northerly winds on a cool but partly sunny day.  Jeff too good on the day.

Race 2

Thanks to Bill Neubauer for being PRO for the day.  This makes him eligible for average points from the other 3 races in the series.  While the wind was strong the racing proceeded and a result obtained.

Race 1

The weather was fine with light winds initially but strengthening in the afternoon providing some steady sailing conditions.  The sailing was enjoyed by all competitors

Marblehead Club Championship

Race 4

Thanks to Ian B for PRO duties today.  Despite the electrical problems and light winds, racing was close and keenly contested.  It was pleasing to see the numbers sailing today and to have a goodly number of spectators.  This is the last of the Marblehead championship races for 2011 and was also the race which contested the Dawson Trophy.

Race 3

A very pleasant sailing day saw 9 starters for the 3rd Marblehead Club Championship.  The breeze was steady at 6-8 kts in the morning rising to 12 -14 at times in the afternoon.  Thanks to Trevor for officiating.

Race 2

The weather was absolutely fantastic and although the breeze was light early it came in to a delightful 6-8 knots by the afternoon.  Ben tried his new yacht out at West Lakes and it didn't disappoint though many of the races were very close with only a metre or two between.  The racing was generally close with Jeff and Brian doing the best of the main bunch.  Bill was rapt with Ben's old yacht and finished the day with a resounding win!!!

Bill was seen improvising before switching the direction of movement on his radio

Race 1 The weather was fine  with the winds light and fluky until well after lunch.  The wind settled to an easterly direction causing quite a few problems for sailors.

P Rutger's Trophy

Race 4
What a glorious day - breezes to 12 knots and consistent from the NNW.  Thanks to Trevor for PRO duties.  All sailors enjoyed the day.  Ben was consistent through the day while Ian was always there pressing hard.  Ian B showed excellent boat speed at times and John was pleased with his new yacht as it also showed promise and will be a good performer in the future.

Race 3

What a perfect sailing day with 8-10 knots from NW to W all day and quite mild with it!  All enjoyed the day with Ian being the most consistent sailor.  Ben was pleased with his 10R and Tyler is showing good skills and improving all the time.

Race 2

A very calm day that took most of the afternoon to finish 10 races,  A very enjoyable day was had by all.
