Frostbite
2012 Frostbite Racing
Frostbite starts 1 January 2012 at the Newport Yacht Club. After this we race every Sunday till the middle of April. We start setting up the boats at 1130. We typically have two classes, A and B. Position from previous weeks racing determines what class one is put in. There actaully is a C Class however they never leave the bar! We typically rotate the classes; Class A races with Class B running the race, then Class B races with Class A running the race, etc.
- Class B rounding the windward mark.
- Class B heading downwind with Charlie Shoemaker in the crash boat observing.
- George Kirk approaching the windward mark.
- Class A start: L to R - FJ Ritt, Roy Guay, Paul Fleming, Bob Morton, Paul Del Nero just before Roy Guay turtled while tacking.
