The popular Alton Water Frostbite Series continued on the weekend with very different conditions from the previous weekend and a good number of the local Waldringfield continued to attend to hone their skills for the coming season.
Sunday the 22nd, the third Sunday of the Alton water frostbite series started with light and
shifty winds causing great difficulty to the race committee and a slightly delayed start.
The
race eventually began with the cadets getting their own sequence giving them the benefit of
watching the faster fleet up the beat. Alex Enkel & Jude Baldock took an early lead
rounding the windward first and after two laps the cadets were left with a difficult final beat.
George Cox-Oliff & George Letts took first place followed by Daniel Ringland & Joshua
Dye both Tom Krailing & Ella Edwards and Alex Enkel & Josh Baldock crossed the
finish line at an equal time giving them each three and a half points. James Bailey & Eliza
Card came fifth and Rhona Enkel & Sophie Ringland in sixth.
The second race allowed for more moderate wind conditions and the same two lap triangle
course. Alex & Jude again rounded the windward in first but at the end of the race it was
Rhona & Sophie in first followed by Alex & Jude in
second, George & George in third, Daniel & Joshua in
fourth, Tom & Ella in fifth and James with Eliza in sixth.
Well done to everyone with no capsizes and thank you to the RO for some fabulous racing.
This coming weekend continues the action-packed winter of Cadet sailing with training on Saturday run by class legends Harry Chatterton and Alex Page and the hotly contested Frostbite Series continues Sunday. Thanks to Tim Bees for the great photos again.
