This just in from Lin McCarthy’s Southern Bay Racing News You Can Use…
FROSTBITE #1 is in the books (at Hampton Yacht Club)
Avast, me hearties, let the first sentence read, “It was a cloudy, windy, rainy day . . . .” It blew like stink, 20 knots and gusting, for the entire race and included a frog-drowner shower at the finish line.
A perfect day for racing, though, ‘cause there was WIND for the fourteen (14) boats in the opening FROSTBITE SERIES race Sunday. It was the perfect chance to test drive those boat show foulies, too!
PHRF A (8 boats) 1.Ian Hill, Sitella; 2.Phil Briggs, Feather; 3.Neil Ford and Lis Biondi, Danger Paws.
PHRF B/C (4 boats) 1.Rusty Burshell, Cool Change; 2.Ben Cuker, Callinectes; 3.Paul Clifford, Wind Dancer.
PHRF Non-Spin (2 boats) 1.Cliff Porter, Tilt; 2.Alan Johnson, Seeker.
Principal Race Officer-Brian Deibler; Official Scored-Kim Deibler.
