Sunshine, calm sea and a gusty offshore wind greeted the competitors at the start of the IOMYC Autumn series in Port St Mary.

Both races were won by the RS200 of Russell and June Collister with Angus Jolly and Christopher Hill close behind in the other RS200. Ben Swindlehurst sailed to a good third in the first race when Simon Pressly and Ali Hinds went swimming.

Pressly took third in the second race while John Dowling and Terry Holt retired after capsizing with spinnaker problems.

Roger and Helen Cave enjoyed playing with their new jib (once it was tied on properly) and Richard Baker was super to watch, flying across the bay on his windsurfer.
