IOM R-8 Championships: Day 1 Standings
Day 1 showed us plenty of Wind…. not so much Water. Due to low levels and limited liquid real estate, HMS with 4 Heats was utilized for the first day to reduce congestion on the Pond. The result was excellent, clean, protest-free racing. Current Standings below.
Jan. 6 Sail Points-Soling 50 & ODOM
There were many glassy holes on our pond for the first races of the 2024 season. That said, each fleet managed 6 races just in time for happy hour! (happy is getting home before dark). VC Sail, Chris Staiger handled the workload, setting marks, RD’ing both fleets and even some entertainment with a broken oar trick. Chris even demonstrated his Venetian gondola poling technique while standing in the skiff. (not coast guard approved). All good fun!
Our ODOM fleet is growing and it’s fun to see skippers from other classes take the helm of that classy little pond yacht. The ODOM fleet welcomed Steve Ross, Pat Nevitt, Tom Warren and Dennis Rogers to the roster. It should be a fun year with these added skippers on the line.
Pat Nevitt is once again our score keeper for 2024.. Thank You Pat for volunteering!
January 19th is the SDA AWARDS BANQUET. January 12 is the deadline to pay. Don’t miss the boat!
