In from our friends across the border in sunny Scotland

The 2014 Scottish Wooden Hull IOM Championship was held on 7th June at Forfar Loch. This was the 10th anniversary of this popular Scottish radio sailing event and attracted a strong fleet of 17 boats predominately from Scottish Clubs but also included 2 visiting skippers from Northern Ireland and a Danish skipper.
Although Forfar Loch is the sailing water of the newly formed Tayside Radio Sailing Club, the Race Team for the event was mainly made up of volunteers from the Buchanness Club; Cathy Reid, Carl Burrows, Bill Odger and Ian Thomson as well as local skipper Alex Burnett and Murphy who manned the rescue boat. The race team was led by the experienced Race Officer Ali Law who took this opportunity to train the new race team members in race management procedures.
