THE Dartmoor Radio Sailing Club has now been renamed the Dartmoor Model Boat Club.

The club has had a reorganisation, and now has a dedicated power boat section, fully integrated into the club.

Its first event of 2018 was the six metre Winter Series, which took place on Saturday on a very cold and breezy day, to which only four of the hardiest skippers presented themselves on the start line.

The course was the Olympic course, in the middle of the lake.

The event followed the club’s normal routine, of four races, a coffee break, four races, lunch and a further eight races in the afternoon.

RESULTS: The results of the six metre: 1, Steve Watts, sail number 30, Ravenna, 12 points; 2, Dave Morris, no 57, Drisky, 24pts; 3, Martin Smith, no 3, unnamed, 32pts; 4, Kevin Boyd, no 15, Dolphin, 50pts.

The next event to be held at  the lake will be the first of the Winter Series of 2018 for the international one metre class will take place on Saturday.
