The Dart 15 Winter Series continued with its fourth Winter TT at Datchet Water Sailing Club. The forecast was showing 5-7 knots and that was enough to entice 9 visitors to turn out for the event.
The fleet were very happy to have got three real races in despite the light winds but still very distracted every time a large aeroplane flew over which was every five minutes. Marconi SC had brought a full pit crew comprising of three Clarke family members and Dave Russell so with their assistance, all the boats were recovered and up the slipway in good time.
The caterers kindly stayed open for the fleet to get hot drinks and a snack for the journey home and then RO Mike Beckett did the honours with the prize-giving - Liam Thom 1st, Jenny Bal 2nd, Ed Tuite-Dalton 3rd. On behalf of the competitors, Liam thanked everyone at Datchet for hosting us and running a great event, despite trying wind conditions.
This now means the whole series is to play for at the final Winter TT at Grafham on Sunday 12th March.
