The DF95 Shootout! held on 19 July at Austin Lakes saw a forecast of southeasters at 0 to 3 knots and that was what we got, more often closer to the zero than the three and from a range of directions either side of SE. PRO Warren Rock and his able course-setter Graeme Colmer set 2 sets of top marks and allowed the racing to go ahead without too many pauses for mark-shifting.

Newly formed club, Austin Lakes Radio Sailing, will be hosts to the DF65 Shootout at Austin Lakes on 26 July.

It was the first regional IOM event since the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions and as expected Jackadder was a challenge!
