Marconi sailors have successfully competed in the Dart 15 Winter Series comprising five events from November to March. Marconi raced against Dart 15 sailors from clubs across the country at Stewartby, Draycote, Datchet and Grafham – plus Rutland, although this event was cancelled due to freezing fog and no wind.
Victory at Stewartby went to Jason Clarke and victory at Draycote went to Jenny Ball. By the final event at Grafham on 12th March, the series was all to play for with four different Dart 15 sailors in contention. Unfortunately, injury prevented Jason from competing at the final two events but we are sure to see more of his winning form in the coming year. Jenny Ball went on to win the Winter Series, with Jon Pearse in third and Nigel James in eighth overall.
Marconi are very pleased to host the Dart 15 fleet for their first Summer TT in what is their forty-fifth anniversary year! This event takes place on 22nd and 23rd April and we hope to have a great turnout of home sailors and visitors too. All club members are warmly invited to join in – in addition to some great racing, the galley will be open all weekend, there will be a Saturday Evening Meal, Bar and Social and there is camping on Saturday night.
