The best winds for quite some time greeted five sailors. With it blowing mainly from the SSW at 15-28 kph and gusting to 35 kph, eight races were easily completed by 1500. Three boats suffered knock downs at various times around the course but no damage was reported. All skippers had at least one 1st across the line and the push for 1st place was eventually decided by a count back. Well done Ken who took the top place again, followed by Wayne and a commendable third to Brian with Colin just one point back following in 4th.

With a promise of 7-14 kts of breeze by someone who will remain nameless, four skippers fronted at the lake to be greeted by conditions that even a mirror couldn't replicate. Nonetheless, the four of us hung around as some wafting swinging random breeze made an appearance... enough for three races to be sailed (drifted) on a shortened course before one skipper called stumps and left the scene. A short break was held in the hope that the promised 7-14 kts would appear, but alas, nothing eventuated. In the end, just six races were held, but it must be mentioned that a blustering 6 kts did show up for a couple of minutes. Highlight of the afternoon was that no floating tyres made a showing. Well done Ken who hooked onto all the breeze patches during the races and took out 1st place on just six points, with Guy two points astern and Trevor another six further back.

A promising breeze at the start of the racing with four skippers on the lake. Close racing occurred up to the mid racing break but as the wind had started to drop off, just six races were able to be sailed. Well done to Colin who took out 1st place by just one point from Ken with Brian coming in third. It looks like Colin has got his boat nicely setup now so he's bound to be on the podium more often through the year. It was also another afternoon where a few tyres popped up.

With the forecast suggesting very light winds and a hot day, just four skippers ventured to the lake for IOM racing. Fortunately no floating tyres were present and racing got underway using the full course. With the breeze generally from the N and swinging to the W at just 1-6 kts, four races were completed when the mid racing break was taken and the skippers indulged in home baked goodies courtesy of Colin's wife. Over the break the breeze dropped right off and it was agreed that the shortened course would be sailed. Subsequently just another two races were completed for the afternoon. Close racing and points allocation was again in place between Ken and Guy with Ken taking the day by just one point. 3rd for the afternoon was Colin just 5 points away.

Just a slight breeze prevailed through the afternoon and a short course was used by the three skippers. As the breeze dropped off further after the break, the course was further shortened so that at least six races could be completed and enabling a result to be achieved. Good work again by Ken with Colin and Brian in the minor places.

With the potential for bad weather developing in the afternoon, just three skippers sailed today. Unfortunately Mike had winch problems through the racing and with a light breeze present, a shortened course was used. The arrival of thunder and dark clouds saw the racing finish after just six races. Well done to Ken who shot a perfect score with Trevor and Mike taking 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Five skippers initially came for today's racing but even before race one was held, a withdrawal took place due to the lack of wind. With very light to zero breeze in place and the temperature around 39 degrees, a shortened course was used and the mid racing break took place after just three races. The breeze then decided to make an appearance from the SW and some better sailing eventuated for the remaining three races. Some consistent sailing and making better use of the wind saw Guy take 1st place overall with four 1st placings and two 2nds. Not too far behind was Ken who unfortunately broke his jib sheet in the final race, with Colin and Trevor in 3rd and 4th just one point between them.

A pleasant day at the lake with a promising SW breeze greeted six sailors for today's IOM meet. Over the afternoon some close racing resulted with everyone getting at least one 1st across the line as handicaps kicked in across the fleet. As the racing progressed, the breeze decided to drop off at times and a few holes around the course eventuated. Those who held the breeze faired the best. With Guy back on the water for the first time this year, a tied result ended up for the top two places with Ken taking 1st place on count back. If a regular six boats each week can be achieved, a good season will eventuate.

With a very hot day five skippers turned up for the start of the IOM class. The breeze was looking promising before the first race. Brian had problems in the 1st race as with Trevor in the 3rd giving them a DNF. At the break with the breeze dropping we decided to shorten the course to get two more races in making the event count for the day. A slow but hopefully a good start for the year.
