2026 MYA Scottish District Wooden Hull IOM Championship, 2nd May 2026

Greenock MY&PBC hosted the 2026 MYA Scottish District Wooden Hull IOM Championship on 2nd May 2026 at Murdieston Dam. The event drew fifteen skippers from seven different clubs from across Scotland and Northern Ireland. There were eleven different designs of these beautifully built and fast boats.

Despite the distinct lack of wind and cloudy conditions before the scheduled start time the wind gods played ball with the forecasted south-west wind of 4 knots gusting to 9 knots for the rest of the day. RO Gordon Allison set a windward-leeward course with a port rounding at the windward mark to a spreader and then an inward-outward gate following the downwind leg with two long beats and a start/finish line.

After 16 races and with the sun out, the RO was happy to end the successful event at 16:30. With 3 discards the overall results were calculated. In 3rd place was Richard Rowan with his Alternative. In 2nd place was Ian Dundas who performed well with his brand-new Nexus design. Winning by a margin of 8 points, as well as retaining and winning the 2026 MYA Scottish District Wooden Hull IOM Championship Trophy for the tenth time, was Steve Taylor proving consistency is key.
