Perignon  2008 Fun race results The weather could not have been better for our end of season event; a sunny and warm autumn day with a SW wind ranging between 8 and 12 Knots. There were 7 boats on the start line under the Orwell Bridge. Of these 6 participated in the race, the 7th boat, Joint Endeavor with Tim Long, could only join us for the first half of the course. With conditions the way they were it turned out to be a very close race. The photograph shows Perignon, which led the field most of the way, as she is being finally overtaken by Happy Dayz (Wieland wrote this !!) near Pin Mill, 3 miles from the finish line. Here are the results: 1. Happy Dayz 2 hours 27 minutes 2. Andromeda 2 hours 30 minutes 3. Perignon 2 hours 31 minutes 4. Miss Behavin 2 hours 32 minutes (incl. 1.5 minutes of engine use close to the finish line) 5. Nordic Spirit 2 hours 33 minutes 6. Silver Dawn 4 hours 10 minutes - we think they stopped for lunch!! Looking forward to the sailing season 09  About Ipswich Haven Yacht Club The club was initially formed as a berth holders association in January 2006 but it was quickly established that the majority of members and potential member's preference was for a Yacht Club. The name was changed to Ipswich Haven Yacht Club mid way through 2006. We currently have 65 member boats with a good mix of sailing and motor boats. We have had good sailing and social programmes having visited Haven Ports, Walton and Frinton and Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Clubs last Season. Marconi Sailing, St Edmundsbury, The Old Gaffers Association and Shotley Point Yacht Clubs visited our 'works in progress' Clubhouse during the 2007 season. We aim to have more cruises and more adventurous trips in 2008 and the Clubhouse which is now largely complete will host more social events and hopefully more visiting Yachtspersons. We enjoy a good relationship with Ipswich Haven Marina and they have been very helpful in the establishment of the Clubhouse which will be fully opened at Easter when we are expecting several clubs to visit us. We are looking to become affiliated to the RYA when funds allow and would like to play our full part in developing the recreation of boating in the area.  200 Club Winners April Brian Clark- Anduina May Neville Warnes - Castaway June Ivor Pryke - Marivor July Brian Hammett - Avola August Lesley Wright - Baloo September Linda Pipe October Derek Braybrooke - Co Co The objective of the IHYC 200 Club is to raise funds for the Club whilst giving 200 Club members the opportunity to win monthly cash prizes.
