The TAYC Frostbite was anything but, with temperatures ashore in the mid-70’s.  The water was a bit cooler and the 10 – 15 kt southerly breeze kept two on the rail for the upwind legs.  The single-handers had a tricky time balancing the boat off the wind, as the rolling swells made for some interesting saves.  Jonathan and Annie Bartlett led the way with two bullets in the first two races and a photo finish bullet in race 3, but Jonathan had a stomach bug that cut their day short.  Jane Delashmutt sailing with Sewall Cox in SPAX won the last race.  Jeff Cox, sailing with his son Ian, recovered from a rogue wave dislodging the rudder just after the start of race 4, to finish the regatta strong with two 3rds.  Sandy McAllister, sailing with Athena Arnold finished fifth, ahead of single-handers Philip Logan, sailing the Class-owned boat, 9575, and Andrew Eyring, in his first appearance since acquiring 9576.  Michael Baugh sailing with his son Heneage completed 3 races, but decided to head in before race 4 as the wind continued to build.  Elizabeth Principe, sailing with Lia Schutt caught a wave wrong and rolled on the downwind leg of race 2, ending their day on the water.  Hats of to Philip Logan and Zak Samih for jumping in the water to help rescue Elizabeth’s boat, which had turtled and was proving difficult to right.

Thanks to Ken Davis (PRO) and RC crew for running a great regatta, and  Ed Cassidy with help from Zak Samih in the crash boat.
