New Year's Day 2010 frostbite racing results

Overcast, Winds NNW 1-5kt (Tide running South)Weather mark flag staring down the approaching skippers

Jeff and Michael tied in points for the day. Jeff for having won the last race, benefitted under Rule A8.2 and took the New Year's Day trophy.

This was not a high-wind situation.

With no waves, and only a little wind, the tide became a major factor. The upstream weather mark (seen in the photo) was a serioius challenge, and for one skipper, a resulting Rule 44.3 penalty turn became the topic of cheerful comments from other boats, and was the subject of a video, that was not viewable yet at the New Year's Day pot-luck that followed the racing.

Frostbite racing results for 12/27/2009

Sailors arrived to balmy, but blustery conditions with white caps and a provisional "No" from the race committee. In the time it took to suit up, the wind dropped a few notches, the RC gave "go-ahead", the sun made a cameo appearance between the clouds, the wind began clocking from SE to S, and sailors took to the seas!

Thanks to Nick and RuthAnn and Gary for helping with Race Committee duties today, to Gene and Sue for photos, and to Jonathan, PRO, for running the Fall series for the Frozen Few!

Winds SE to South, 12-15 Kts

Seas: Moderate

Temperature: 50°F.
