ROUND ONE
Well, the
first race of the Frostbite Series got underway, a chilly light Westerly
wind, with close sailing by all skippers.
There was eight hardy souls today, with new kid on the block, Tony Ingle
in his first race with the club, sailing his own built yacht Kermit.
Unfortunately Tony had a few problems with his sail winch, which meant
he missed three of the six races. Another skipper who joined in
just for fun was Jeff Kenworthy from Whitby, he enjoyed himself,
so I think we may just see more of him at Carnaby Lake in the future.
ROUND TWO
Yet another cold day, well it is the Frostbite Series afterall, but
with a change of wind direction, this time from the East. Once
again, some very close racing by all concerned, with the finishing
positions exactly the same as last week. Once again Roger was
on form, winning three of the six races today, Brian with two and
Tony Watts one.
ROUND THREE
Two days in a row of
sunshine, but still a bit
chilly, with the wind
blowing west north west.
Only six skippers started
today, with Neil acting as
OOD to make sure everyone
sailed by the rules
.......... and what a good
job he did. It was the turn
of Brian Hartley today with
three wins, Roger two and
Tony Watts one. Tony
Ingle came in on the last
race.
ROUND FOUR
Top spot for Tony
Watts this week with
three wins, Roger &
Brian having a
somewhat off day in
the East North East
wind, but Roger
still holding on to
first place overall
at the moment. Two
more races to go in
this series, with
all to play for.
As the old old
saying goes, "Never
count the winner
until the finish."
ROUND FIVE
Only
six skippers
gathered at
the lake
side today.
Once again
Neil was OOD
and kept
everybody
under
control,
which is a
job on it's
own at times
believe me.
With an East
North East
wind all
over the
lake it made
for a
slightly
longer
course than
previous
weeks.
Brian had a
better week
after
problems
last
Tuesday,
winning four
of the six
races, well
done Brian.
The thing
is, can he
hold his
nerve next
week after
the close
racing this
week, Roger
and him are
on equal
points, only
time will
tell. We are
all now
waiting to
see Neil's
new boat
after
hearing so
much about
it the last
few weeks,
come on
Neil, put us
out of our
misery.................
ROUND SIX
Congratulations to
Brian "Jammy"
Hartley winning this
series, with four
wins today, beating
Roger who only had
two. Having
said that there was
once again some very
close racing in the
West North West
wind, which by
lunchtime had moved
round to South East,
probably the best
days racing out of
the six in the
series.
To follow on from
last weeks report,
Neil finally
launched his new
boat "Speck" today,
with all the
trimmings,
unfortunately nobody
had a camera to
capture the moment.
I will try and get
some photographs and
post them on here
soon. Judging
by the way "Speck"
performed, finishing
up in second place
today, she will be a
force to be reckoned
with in the next
series which will
start in a few weeks
time.
