Frostbite Series 1 – 8th December 2019

Frost Bite 1 – 8th December 2019

The first race of the Frostbite Series was very windy, as it had been the previous two years.

 With a WSW wind of about 18 mph and stronger gusts coming through, Peter R set the first beat to 4 then 9, 3, 8, 6, 7 and back through the start.

The race was a one lap affair with 10 starters and only five finishers with Simon B (Blaze), Rhys (4.7), Dean & Nick (Vago), Ralph (Laser) and Ron (Mirror) all retiring.     

The fleet became well spread out and Julian B (Devoti D-Zero) crossed the line in 1st place about one minute ahead of Jon (Radial) in 2nd place. Mike Tr (Laser)was in 3rd place nearly six minutes further back and he was two minutes ahead of James (Laser), who in turn was two minutes ahead of Adrian (Laser).

The only change on corrected time was Jon leapfrogging Julian to take 1st place.

Thanks to Peter R and the OOD Team of Ann & Dave L, Jewels, Marcin, Richard M and many other volunteers who pitched in to help out in he very windy conditions.
