42 boats arrived to take part in CYC's second 2024 Snowflake event. After the storms of recent weeks the weather was beautifully calm with blue sky and a moderate South Easterly wind.
Martin Orton as Race officer set a trapezoidal course starting on the West shore of the "lake" with a beat alongside Birdham pool to a windward mark in front of the clubhouse. The Wind and the Tide combined to punish anyone that chose the wrong path to the mark.
In the Fast Fleet the first four were very consistent. Jack Holden (RS400) winning both followed by George Yeoman and Owain Matthews (Merlin Rocket), followed by Richard Sharp (Finn) and Matt Johnson (Finn).
In the Medium Fleet Rob and Gemma Burridge sailing a 2000 resumed their battle with Alex Butler in his Solo, Sharing the honours with a win each exactly as they had in day 1. They were followed by Ian Morgan (Solution) in the first race and M.Frary (Solo) in the second race.
In the Slow fleet the Three Mirror's dominated the racing with Tracy and Charlie Hunt taking race 1 and Richard and Rupert Searle taking race 2. Lucy and Rosy Searle took third place in both races ahead of Chichester's Freddie Jones in his Optimist.
The Next Snowflake will take part on the 11th February with a first race start time of 10:30. Anyone wishing to register can do so by visiting :-
