Update
The 800’s have really taken off at ISC with a solid regular turnout for Saturday racing of six boats.
The Regatta turnout was hampered due to some damage during fed week and would have been up to eight boats had this not occured.
We have at least another couple of boats due to join before the end of the season which should make for some great racing, in hopefully more consistence Autumn weather!
The RS800 portion of the Haines Cup race was led by the Woods A team of Adrian and Matt, followed by bay and Nick in a comprehensive display of how their early season trip to Minorca has paid dividends. We are still looking for a full report from Woods B on their whole Garda experience!
The afternoon race was lead by a TISC boat and we hope future tie ups can be arranged with them to increase racing fleet size further.
Next Race
Saturday 3th @ 1.50PM. Call or email Adrian for confirmation of start Time. Looks like a good turnout!
Social
Nick Gardener has kindly volenteered his house for the first of the Autum socials on the 20th September. It is also a pool party so bring your kit for a cool down straight after racing! Details direct from Nick.
A further dinner at the club due before the end of the season.

Top tip from the Menage a Trois gang…
Make sure ya forestay is clipped/ taped/ locked/ welded on … because the little D ring on the webbing on the bottom of the jib is not strong enough to hold the mast up by itself in 20 knots of wind….
