The 09 Jun was a utility day due to the Queen's Birthday weekend.

.

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday dear Queenie,

Happy Birthday to you.

Sailing conditions were fantastic except for the breeze. After the work was done the guys tried to race regardless.

.

Bob watson took first place in the Marblehead/10 Rater group with an aggregate time of 1 hour 16 minutes 24 seconds for four races. That's an average of 19 minutes per race for what normally takes less than ten minutes. Well done anyway Bob.

.

Peter White came second, on count back. Well done Peter. Peter's aggregate time was 1 hour 16 minutes 58 seconds.

.

John Lykke's third place was achieved with an aggregate time of 1 hour 17 minutes 13 seconds.

.

Great racing from the podium!

.

Bob Tuohy likes a bit more breeze.

.

On corrected time Peter White cleaned the slate, knocking Bob Watson back to second place.

.

John Lykke and Bob Tuohy retained their positions from the line honours.

.

.

In the other fleet Brian Pennifold revelled in the breeze(ish) and came home first. Onya Brian!

.

Bob Dare did a Bob Watson and changed boats more often than his undies. His supposed "IOM'" got sooky in the windy conditions and turned into a Focus. If you'd sailed the Focus all day you might have beaten Brian.

.

Geoff Smith was relegated to third place on countback. Bad luck Geoff. Or good luck that Bob had those lousy results at the start when his IOM failed to sail.

.

Graham Alcock got called away after the first race.
