With nine races sailed in the Frostbite Series for the Squib Class at Kinsale YC, Ian Travers and Keith O’Riordan sailing Outlaw continue to hold the lead on a total of eight points.
Three races, the seventh, eighth and ninth races of the series, were sailed on Sunday, two of which they won and were second in the other.
The top three placings of the 14-boat fleet haven’t changed, since the previous week, after Sunday’s third day of the series. Colm Dunne and Fiona Ward, sailing Allegro, are second on 14.5 points, having beaten the leading duo into second place in the second race on Sunday last. Still in third place overall are Matthias Hellstern and Colm Daly sailing Fifty Shades, on 23.5 points. In the third race on Sunday, Sean and Paul Murphy sailing Crackers got ahead of the second and third overall boats as they battled to the finishing line. Crackers finished second and is now placed overall on 29 points. Allegro and Fifty Shades couldn’t be separated and shared 3.5 points each at the finish. Two discards have so far been allowed, so the results of seven races are counted in the current results. The leading boat, Outlaw, has won six, been second in another and discarded a third place as its worst result, as well as a 15-pointer penalty when Travers and O’Riordan did not sail in the first race of the series. Racing will continue on Sundays until March 5.
Two Lasers and a 420 formed a mixed dinghy fleet which joined the Frostbite series on Sunday. They sailed three races, all won by Harvey Matthews in a Laser Radial. Four Topper dinghies also began racing. Caoimhe Corkery won all three of their races.
