The First Cold Front Series of 2019 is in the Books

Cold Front Series #1

This past Sunday, we ran the first Cold Front Series of this Winter, with the Green Fleet racing in Clear Lake, while Lasers and RWB Fleet raced out on the Bay.

The Cold Front Series are 3 events in total, and each takes a day of racing. This Championship is used to decide who will be the club champion for the 2019 season.

For the first one, sailors from HYC and TCYC joined the Lakewood to make racing even more attractive. In total, we had 37 sailors, with 8 Lasers, 9 Green Fleeters and 20 RWB sailors.

The weather conditions weren't exactly great, with very light winds and an unusual strong current ebbing that made racing and completing racing very challenging.

In the Green Fleet, they were able to complete 6 races in total, with William Wise taking the honors, ahead of Milou Van Koilenburg (TCYC) in second and Scarlett Dennis in third.

In the Laser Fleet, a close battle between Scott Mather and Jake Brown, which brought the winner to be decided in the last tack of the last upwind. At the end, Scott Mather took the win home, just one point ahead of Jake Brown with Ethan Polsen in third.

Finally, in the RWB Fleet, the current played a big role, and with only 3 races completed, like the Lasers, no throw out came to play, which made consistency (and avoiding UFD's) key. At the end of the day, Ava Anderson showed the best consistency, taking the #1 Cold Front Series ahead of Ewan Dossin in second, and Zach Brown in third.

You can find the results posted on the whiteboard out in the porch at the Seahorse Lounge.
