IOM

The WA States for the IOM class were held at Champion Lakes on Saturday and Sunday November 11 and 12. There were 16 entries.

The forecast was for gusty easterly winds over the two days – not the ideal situation for Champion Lakes as an easterly is basically onshore. The windward marks have to be set on the other side of the lake, but that is treacherous due to a large wind shadow coming off the opposite bank.

Another great weekend of sailing was had as the metro fleet headed south to the city of Bunbury located approx 2 hours south of Perth on the weekend of 16 & 17 September.
