South West District IOM Summer Series 1 @ Poole – 12/3/17

The SW District IOM Summer Series Round 1 was held at Longham Lake on 12/3/17, due to no water in the lake at Poole Park.

The morning started off raining but by mid morning it had stopped and remained dry for the rest of the day. A total of 20 skippers were sailing including Terry, Josh and Greg King from the Midland District.

There was 2 fleets – Nigel Clark from Sedgemoor taking the first seeding race in very light winds, and Peter Wiles taking the second again with very light winds. The wind became stronger by lunchtime and the sailing became more enjoyable and competitive.

The day ended with Josh King in first place on count back, followed by Tony Edwards & James Edwards in 2nd and 3rd respectively.

(Thanks to Bob Connor for the report, and Poole for hosting another successful SWD event!)
