Under overcast skies, with winds out of the south, seven frostbite teams completed seven races on a damp and cold Sunday afternoon. The results for Sunday, Feb. 4: 1. Pedro Lorson/Mimi Berry (#536), 2. Ted Toombs/David Cornachio (#514), and 3. Fee Metropoulos/Amelia Amon (#121). There was one capsize after the completion of race #4, but with the able RC rushing to the overturned dinghy, skipper and crew were on a crash boat within minutes and immediately whisked to shore. There was no crew race. With two weeks in a row of Sunday sailing, all are hopeful that the weather will continue to cooperate and provide exciting competition for the rest of the season. FULL STORY
