The Burnham Blaze fleet took two wins on the second day of the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club SnowGlobe series, on 18th of November, as Charlie Matthews and Malcolm Hutchings won a race each.
The 11 boats that braved the grim looking forecast, with gusts of 32 kts and heavy rain, were regaled with a perfect day for sailing, with many one to one fights taking place on the water.
The southerly wind and low tide, forced the Race Officer to set up a very unorthodox course, with a westerly start, towards a buoy on the north shore, a short beat to Fairway 9, a reach to a buoy just off the Royal Corinthian pontoon, up to Fairway 7, another reach to a buoy close to middle of the channel and back towards the start line, around a final buoy, just off the Rice and Cole pontoon.
The next races will take place on 25th of November, at Royal Corinthian Yacht Club.
