Thanks to Mark Reed for running RC for Frostbite #5 and providing the following RECAP:
Five tightly matched RS Aeros raced on a W/L course, 5 races. Breeze looked barely sailable as we rigged but patience was rewarded and we saw maybe 4-8 from the SE with one particularly light race in the middle of the series. Very flat water. Generally left was favored and a couple times people got skunked by current going high and too far right on the downwind. Smooth tacks and boat handling definitely helped and there were gains to be made finding pressure and staying aware of the shifts. Decent all-around racing and it’d be wonderful if we could get a few more boats jazzed to come out as the fleet has been a little quiet lately. Light winds can still be quite tactical and a lot of fun. Glad people were willing to get out and give it a go.
Frostbite #6 is February 26. Please mark it on your calendar and plan to join in.
For those of you who’s boat has been inaccessible due to the Port having fenced off the two CYC dinghy docks (past I 14 Fleet docks), there will be some work done on at least the center dock on Saturday. Perhaps we’ll have some sense afterwards as to whether any of your boats will be available in time for Frostbite #6.
Thank you,
Mark Ross
