CYC, Snowflake. Race 7 & 8 (13 Jan)
Forecast: S, 30-40 knots. Racing on…You bet!!! 45 boats (Merlins to Oppies) out racing for races 7 and 8 of the Snowflake series. Andy Fitz and Andy Shaw keeping up the pressure at the head, currently lying 4th and 5th had a right tussle with each other in the first race. Andy Shaw with Rosie Sibthorp crewing pulled back Fitz, after a port hand stunner, then gaining the lead before Fitz puts in a move on the final mark to reclaim the lead and beating Shaw/ Sibthorp by 5 seconds. Race 8 saw all four Itchenor 200’s within 6 boat lengths at the 1st windward mark, Shaw, Neall, Fitzgerald & Darling, before various minor gear and mental issues leaving Chris to win the Itchenor 200 division with a 4th in race....Results
