Hi Lee

Hoping to get to Datchet for my first sail there!

5 minutes between the last club start & our prep seems like a very long time?

Someone at DWSC needs to review https://www.dwsc.co.uk/club-terms-and-p ... club-rules the first error I spotted was in 2. (b) :wink:

It's worked really well in the past. They send the locals off and you aren't really aware of them. Much better than having 30 F18s running back at your start line in the last 30 seconds.

Okey dokey, normally we complain like crazy when a starting sequence is longer than absolutely necessary as we are hanging about getting cold :D

Anyway if you think their rules are bad, take a look at ours.

Ingrid is waiting expectantly in sight of Windsor Castle. What time are the rest of you arriving?!

Thanks to Datchet for looking after us again. They seem to be very good at sailing multiple fleets round a pond without getting in each others' ways.

The official results don't have a discard so are slightly wrong. Hopefully the ones on this site are accurate. Let me know if you spot a problem.

There's some pictures on the site too.

Race 2 video is up.

It's a bit faster than race 1 but less interaction. Race 3 will be better.

I managed to record almost all of the last race.

There's a bit of breeze and very close racing.
