XOD racing at Poole Week 2024
Published 16:07 on 12 Sep 2024
Four Itchenor XOD boats boldly beamed themselves over to Parkstone where they encountered a far flung galaxy of XOD sailors. Some things were exactly the same, but others oddly different.
The XODs were moored alongside in pontoon berths, you simply stepped onboard - no fearful scrambling off a club rib. The locals had an unusual dawn ritual - they swam down and scrubbed their keels, every day. There were two races starting at a civilised 2pm, followed by free beer afterwards, but mysteriously only two beer tokens per boat - who would/should lose out?
