Frostbite racing results for 1/24/2010

A nearly perfect day of sailing today Start!: 9 of the 11 skippers crowd the line - 24Jan10 Start!: 9 of the 11 skippers crowd the line - 24Jan10with 11 boats on the line. At first, prospects looked bleak. There was no wind and a thin layer of ice on the course. But as race time approached, a nice S/SE breeze filled in and skippers skimmed through the ice with bright sun.

Scores were tight, forcing tie-breaking between Fauss and Kyle, and between Doug and JonC. Thanks to Gene for clearing the deck before skippers arrived, and to Fauss, who "paid" for his first-place by providing clam chowder for the whole FrozenGang, to go with Madelyn's cheese biscuits.
