NewQuay YC Frostbite 23rd Jan 2022

 An 8am start to head for NewQuay YC  for the first race of the frostbite series.

weather was 5deg brrrrr , boat was rigged after the briefing with lines joined in the sand and rock for bouys and wood for the pier  lol

i was having trouble working out what lines went where after my last sail on the d zero back late August. eventually i got it sort of right apart frpm putting the rudder over the traveller   luckily the safety boay was on hand to help , all sorted i headed out in lightish winds and flat seas. 

race 1 a reasonable start to follow 2 laser around the first mark, an ongoing duel between Martins son and me ensued with him getting 2nd on water after a muffed mark rounding at the leeward mark.

race 2  a better start following the weta tri , came out in a good position to overtake the tri and then almost overtake the lead laser 1100py  mine 1029.

we only did 2 laps but at the end Martin pipped me by 1 min 

R1 4th 28M30

R2 2nd  18M30 3rd overall

Afterwards a rewarding pint of guiness and soup and rolls in the club house
