Sunday 16th November 2008

Sunday was another lovely day with northerly F3 wind for the first race and F2 for the second.  Sorry no pictures.  St. Andrew and Derek and his kayak were also on the water.

Eight dinghies turned out for the first race, the fifth in the Frostbite Series.  EIGHT dinghies!!!!

The first race started using the automatic lights, 3 laps over the course: Start-line between A and T, Hp, Bp, Gs, Ap.  The slower boats did 2 laps.

1st  - Martin & Samantha Topping – RS400
2nd – Ivan Haslam - Laser

The second race in a lighter wind was four and three laps over the course: Start-line between A and T, Hp, Bp, Ap.

You will have noticed that there were changes in the boat crews!

This large number of boats was made possible by the kindness of John Wood loaning his Topper and Alison Rayson loaning her Comet.
