Gale blows out Frostbite finish!!


Great excitment at the final days frostbite racing at Sutton Creek on Sunday 1st November. Race Officer Mike O'Neill hoped to run 4 races but the wind had other intentions. Race 9 was run in moderate conditions however in the starting sequence for the next race, the wind increased rapidly. Gale force winds brought surf, spray and those boats not planing were capsized. Racing was promptly abandoned with all available hands joining rescue crews in retrieving sailors and boats. Thankfully all escaped unharmed and recounted tales of survival between mouthfuls of Aidan's famous hamburgers.

Full set of results....
