FROSTBITE 2


Another windless day greeted the 10 sailors with the forecast for 4/6 mph not in evidence, The SOOD, Glen was a bit short of helpers, so Paul ‘stepped in’ and set a short course which would cover any wind direction, 5p,8p,xp,6s,7s,S.

Curtis made the perfect port tack start in the middle of the line, with Hadey in Karen’s Laser and 4.7 sail close behind, very impressive Hadey – while Karen crewed Newton in his Laser 2000, Sally helmed Nev’s Leader with Nev crewing….not sure how that came about?? and big Adrian went for his big sail.

Everyone was a little ‘line shy,’ so no recalls and poor Sally and Nev got becalmed with the 9 other boats sailing through them…..

It proved to be a slow drift, with Curtis needing to tack to make X mark and losing 3 places – bad luck Curtis. Adrian took the lead for a while, but Peter in true fashion in light airs took the lead.

Jon tried his luck in his Ent….no new Solo sail yet….?? As usual the wind picked up towards the end of the race, and it appeared to the Jolly Sailor that Hadey finished ahead of Newton? Very impressive!

Finishing places 1st Peter, 2nd Dave, 3rd Adrian.

We had wonderful choice of soups, homemade by Julie, really scrummy….
