The TAYC Frostbite was held in conjunction with the Penguin Atlantic Coast Championship. The weather forecast called for light winds, which was a bit of change from the blustery conditions that we had on Friday and Sunday. When the sailors arrived there was a bit of an easterly on this chilly morning, so the ten Penguin teams bundled up and headed out to the race course, joined eventually by 4 Comets and 3 PHRF boats who were using our starting line and then sailing off into the deep blue. The wind died as we were sailing out to where the committee had set up a course, expecting an easterly. A 180 degree wind shift caused them to have to turn the course around, but as the wind kept moving from the south to the west, they started to run out of room on the right side of the course as they were tucked up towards Foxhole creek. In race 1, the outgoing tide became a factor in the one lap windward leeward course, as boats on the starboard tack layline were becalmed and getting swept out towards the Choptank. Jeff Cox with son Julian crewing recognized that more pressure beats less distance and sailed a longer course to get to a windline which propelled him to victory. In race 2, Bill Lane sailing with his granddaughter, Annabelle Lane , sailed low and fast on the run to take the gun. In race 3, Jeff Lane once again went for the pressure, which this time came in on the right side of the beat, and sailed to a comfortable win. In race 4, Chris Conway, sailing with his daughter Campbell, nailed a committee boat end start, leaving a portion of the fleet trapped up against the committee boat (ouch). Jeff and Julian beat Charlie Krafft, sailing with Donna McKenzie, on the tiebreaker. Spencer McAllister, sailing with Caroline Corson had a mostly consistent string of 4th place finishes to take 4th overall. Read Beigel (Jr.) sailed well and was in the mix in the tight fleet racing and finished 5th overall, which may have been a bit of a letdown from his victory last year. Still, it was great to see him, and so many of the next generation of Penguin sailors out for this event. Eric Wagner sailed one of the Oxford Boatyard Boats with Sherie Munday to finish 6th, only a point out of 5th. Bill and Annabelle decided to end the day on a high note after winning race 2, so ended up 7th overall. Patrick Brooks sailing with Ali Van Loo in another of the OBY boats and finished 8th. Alan Campbell with Casey Firth sailed one of the Class owned boats, 9575, boat found that the Penguin is weight sensitive, especially in the really light air conditions we experienced. And last but not least, Sewall Cox sailed with Isabelle Rogers and were the only all-female team on Sewall was the only female skipper. After four races (really after three), the wind had stopped cooperating, so the committee sent us in.
