- A total of 8 Race days were completed, with 2 discards means the best 6 Race day scores will count.Not all competed on all race days so their scores will only show the total of race days attended.Congratulations to Laurence N on winning the Series closely followed by Michael D.
- Please be patient - There is no space in the Race Days box. So the 10th race day details follow in this series box. The Series details will follow. The best sailing day of the Frostbite Series ensured the six sailors who raced had an exciting day with winds varying between 10 and 18 knots for the eleven races sailed. Well done to Michael and Laurence who finished with just 2 points separating them. Our thanks again to Ian and David for looking after proceedings.
