2016 JOG Season Round Up and Results

For a few years now the concluding race for JOG's inshore season has been a coastal or round-the-cans race and this year Lymington was the destination on Saturday 1st October. It was a Solent race with everything – doom-laden skies before the start with lashing rain, then light winds and clear skies for the 25 mile course followed by a sail ripping sting in the tail at Lymington river entrance.

Offshore results were decided with the race to Cherbourg on Friday evening 23rd September – daylight diminishing of course but reports were of a lovely warm night with shooting stars and a bright half-moon. The conditions were sportier for the cruise back with some competitors claiming cross-channel speed records.

As ever it has been a varied race programme with 17 races (6 counting for offshore points and 5 for inshore) and an interesting choice of destinations including Roscoff for the club's 65th celebrations followed by two fun races and socialising through the following week. Cherbourg over easter was changed into clockwise Round the Island on the one lovely day to the appreciation of all concerned – the hard-working secretary and PRO taking full account of forecast conditions for the whole weekend.

JOG's successful formula includes a welcoming post-race party at various channel ports and as always we're grateful to our race sponsors – thanks then to Northface Connections, Universal Safety, RS Divers, Hamble Estate Agency, Clanfield Properties, C Data Services and Doyle Sails.

For 2017 a draft programme is already on the website and we look forward to welcoming new and current owners and crews to some great racing and fun après-sail. The four classes cover IRC ratings with an upper limit of 1.200 for bigger boats and no lower limit, much in line with JOG's ethos and history of encouraging small boats.

The annual AGM and Prize-Giving Dinner Dance is on Saturday 3rd December with trophies being awarded to race and series winners.
