Thank you, David Stong, for being the RD for the day.
It was another beautiful day at the Pond, with a solid turnout from both the ODOM and Soling 50 fleets.

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.

Bob DeBow ODOM Masters Regatta Results (March 29, 2025)
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.
Hope to see everyone there. 
Regards,
Chris Davidson
Points Day Results – ODOM’s & Soling 50’s (March 8, 2025)
What a day!
14 ODOM’s out on the pond today. They’re breeding!
This week Steve Delva did a great job as RD for both classes. Thanks Steve and thanks Bill Bridge for laying the marks and Gil Jansky for retrieving them.
The tuning clinic last week obviously paid off with the fleet being very close throughout all heats, at times a little too close. :O
With a good breeze blowing, some skippers didn’t quite have their time on distance calculations dialled in, me included! :O
Nevertheless, penalty turns were taken as applicable and there was some healthy discussions afterwards, which highlighted how any one situation can have at least two perspectives.
Well sailed guys…
Next was the Solings. Breeze was still which saw these heavier displacement boats revel in the conditions.
Some tight racing throughout the heats with lots of close encounters.
Apologies Gerry for my ‘Specsavers’ moment. :O
All in all it was a fantastic day on the pond with a number of onlookers from the public and almost standing room only in the peanut gallery.
Wonderful to see some of the sailors from the ODOM’s stay to watch the show.

December 7th Points: Odom & Soling
Beautiful Day; whacky winds… Thanks to RD Ty Beach who ran the Odoms:
Winds had really tailed off by the time it was the Solings’ turn. RD Pat Nevitt chose mostly medium courses as the winds dropped near Zero by the final race:
