Charity IOM Race, Sunday 5 January 2020
Set out above are the results of a very successful day's racing. So far, the event has raised over £500 for "Momentum", a local charity providing support for children receiving cancer treatment and their families. Photos and a report are also set out below  
Hampton  Court MYC held it's annual charity open meeting for the One Metre class on 5th January which attracted an impressive 24 entries.
Weather conditions on the day were excellent given the time of year although we could have done with a little sunshine to brighten things up. The 6-8 mph breeze came in from the South West which allowed a decent windward/leeward course to be laid. An offset mark was added to the windward turn and a gate at the bottom of the downwind leg prevented any traffic jams.
Racing started promptly after the 10:00 briefing and continued at good pace without any issues on or off the water. On completion of race 4 it was clear that Gavin Watson (West Cornwall RSC) had the edge on the rest of the fleet, followed closely by Phil Holliday (Datchet) and Charity event stalwart Darin Ballington (Manor Park).
At 12:30 all competitors adjourned to the club house for home made soup and rolls provided by the host club.
The weather improved for the afternoon's sailing and a further 4 complete races were squeezed in before the 15:15 cut off point. This allowed everyone two discards to their scores. A quick count up of the results revealed that Gavin had won by a convincing margin scoring only six points. Phil and Darin followed with 16 and 17 points respectively
 
No one could dispute that the on water racing and the camaraderie were top notch and probably only bettered by the generosity of the competitors and members of Hampton Court in their support for Momentum Childrens Charity . More than £500 has been raised making this a very worthwhile event.
