We were treated to favourable conditions this year for the annual Freezer on 27th December. There were 17 boats on the water with quite hefty winds at the start but dropping to a more leisurely pace by the end of the 90 minutes. John Horwood has promptly published the results as usual (under ‘Opens‘).
Happy New Year.
The Snowball series of races runs every Sunday from 8th January to 26th February. There are 2 races each Sunday starting at 1.00 pm as normal. The race is open to non-SWSC members and the cost is a nominal £2.00 per person per session.
On duty: Volunteers on the day. If you want to volunteer in advance (which would be very helpful) simply add a note via the ‘Leave a comment‘ link below or contact Ben Ratcliffe.
Race results have been brought up-to-date on the Results page. Series League and Overall Results have been updated and 2 new reports showing Series League results by gender and boat class have been added. Final results for the Sunday Frostbite are also available for download. Enjoy!
Many thanks to John Horwood for his excellent work in producing these for the benefit of club members.
SWSC entered 2 boats in this year’s 24 hour race. The A team managed to hold their own and finish a creditable 26th out of the 67 finishers having completed 75 laps at an average 19.23 minutes per lap.
The B team, equipped with their very sensible storm sails for the 24 hours, finished in 60th place, completing 57 laps at an average 25.10 minutes per lap.
Both boats managed to keep upright throughout the 24 hours through a varied selection of winds. Congratulations to both teams. See the photos.
Thanks to flowHIRE and Black 5 Design for their welcome sponsorship of the SWSC entries.
