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
