Windsport at Marconi this weekend

Post by Jenny Ball »

Windsport are providing Event Support at the Marconi TT this weekend. If you need any spares, place an order by Wednesday and they will bring them to Marconi to save on postage costs. Just put "Collect at Marconi" in the notes box when you complete your order.

There is still time to enter the TT - entries (and evening meal bookings) close on Wednesday.

Thx Liam.

Cracking if chilly event and Marconi really did a sterling job to get the races laid out and run as they did. Superb sailing conditions really & thankfully not as terrifying as Shanklin was!!

Well done, Mark. It is a good place to win with the challenging tides.
The only places with more challenging tides that are or have been on the Dart 15 circuit are Gurnard and Instow in my opinion.

Thx Bob. To be honest the wind was sufficient to make the tide easier, but Jason overtook me on Sunday's race 2 on the first run by going up tide as opposed to me going down tide & then having to recover the loss. He looped past me while I was napping!!
