10th December Frostbite Series 1

Well the Frostbite Series is upon us with a 11.00 start and a single one hour handicap race.
With the snow coming down and a forecast of gale force winds only four boats ventured out this morning. In fact the gale force winds did not materialise and the wind was light and very changeable in both direction and strength!  It was difficult for Dave I to set a course from the shore but he used the normal flag pole with a short beat to 7 (which was OK with so few boats), then 6, 8, 4, 9 and back through the start.
 
At the end of the first lap Newton (Solo) was first back through the line followed by Adrian (Laser) then Chris H (Comet) and quite a bit further back Dean & Nick (Vago).
There were no actual changes in position during the whole of the three lap race, so the finishing order was –
1st Newton; 2nd; Adrian; 3rd Chris H; 4th Dean & Nick
 
On handicap Chris H will leapfrog Adrian to move up to 2nd place.
 
Thanks to Dave I and the OOD Team of Brian and Richard M. None of the other members on the OOD rota turned out!
