It certainly was a mixed up day at the races and Hughie was not discriminating. Im sure everyone was at his mercy at one time or another. If it wasn’t Hughie, it was the dreaded slime. 🙁
Certainly need another slime busting work dat in the coming weeks. The RD’s did a great job choosing the courses and thanks to Kerim and Chris S for adjusting the marks as needed.
IOM’s
As you can see by the scores, the racing was still very tight.
Congratulations to Len Bose on scoring a bullet in the final race of the IOM’s, he was chased and chased but held his nerve to the finish. Worth the drive hey Len. 🙂
Posting this a bit late. Apologies for the tardiness. Better late than never. 🙂
Appears that Kerim has maintained his speed in the ODOM and Agent 99 seems to be in good hands with Dave Woodward, having given Ty Beach a run for his money.

Thanks to one and all for turning up for the Bob DeBow ODOM Masters regatta today.
Jess Atkinson did a masterful job of launching this new series of Regattas honoring the Legends of Argonauts. Today was the first of the series – honoring Bob DeBow.
In this really fun and crazy wind ODOM Regatta, some handled conditions somewhat better than others.
Continuing his fine form for the year, Kerim Baran took home the gold! 7 wins for the day, certainly the boat to beat.
Some pictures (thank you to Freddie Rocha!) and results are below:
ODOMs are on the pond again on April 12th (and the Soling 50’s) for points racing.
