Our first ever Mini 12 regatta, the “B Rig Sitting Down” Regatta. We picked a beautiful day to break out the new class. The B rig is the same as a Soling 1M rig, so we have lot’s of them to employ. Boots came from nowhere when he saw the shift on the water to win race 1. From there, it was tough sailing as we switched from starting north to south. We brought our chairs and relaxed and sailed and had a great time.

2024 Frostbite Regatta

We had our last regatta of the year this afternoon aptly named the Frostbite! Eight boats competed, the top four were very close. Full kudos to winner Brian McDonah who won by one point over myself and Gary Bugden. I took second overall as I won the last race which served as the tie breaker. Bob Boutilier was only three behind for fourth.

While it was a beautiful day, the winds were testy and the temperature was 7 degrees when I got back into the car at the end.

We had lovely races and great fellowship. I’m so happy for Brian as he is an excellent skipper and even a nicer person. We all missed Jim who has a dozen plus Frostbite wins over the years.

I can dream about the last race all winter. See you at the starting line in the spring!
