Well, I had a great sail round the Island with Rowan and Ian in 'Meg' (39) on Saturday (you may have seen us - Meg has www.minitonner.com all along the boom!....v. cool! ) Anyway, we were alongside Legend and MiniFred and Limbo Up for most of the race (good to see you chaps!) and we were right with the Shepherd's Trophy winner - ISC Rating System for a good deal of it .....saw the 'Dedicated' dudes up at the Needles, but not close enough to speak to.... So, I reckon we botched up one tack down by Bembridge and also not changing down from the number one ( )when we had the opportunity were our points for improvement....so properly overpowered all day! Still 15th in class (20th O/all) wasn't a bad day's work really.... Anybody got any stories or results to share? Matt

Shamm took to the water Monday most of problems sorted arrived at start 10 min late for ISC 8 so set off in pursuit of fleet at the needles had passed 80-100 boats had pretty good reach down west side of the Island with good beat up to Bembridge not so good from there but ended up 10 in ISC8 .I have been rebuilding last 3 years and she sailed beautifully Mini Ton Cup should be there

It was good to see how close all the mini's were and interesting how many are using the ISC rating. I've entered the "Solent Trophy" at the minitonner event in Aug, using ISC rating rather than IRC. I was worried I would be the only one, but it seems I might be wrong. What are other people doing?

Well done to Limbo Up! 2nd in group and 41st overall, and on their first round the island race to boot. We had a great time on Legend and were well pleased with our performance, although we didn't do too well in the results due to our cheating ways (jumping the gun and winning ourselves a 5% penalty). It was a great race and really good to have other minitonners around us on the water the whole time. We were sailing with Limbo Up, Presto and Meg for a lot of the time, and even had Dedicated Dancer in sight as far as the needles!
