Frostbite 6
Brian Pollard’s Tasar (Natasha Routley as crew) was the first to cross the start line but the north-
westerly winds were too gentle for a two-handed boat and by the time the fleet was rounding the
second buoy, Seagull, five boats had overtaken. Nathan Pollard’s Laser led, followed by Dave
Perrett’s Solo which was soon passed by Bob Sampson’s Laser. Jane Anderson’s Laser Radial had a
similar turn of speed to the Solos, finishing this two lap race four seconds after Dave Perrett’s, but
the handicaps promoted her to second equal to Bob Sampson who finished a minute ahead but with
the larger sail on his Laser.

Cup 11
The sun continued to shine, although without imparting much warmth, and the winds blew very
slightly harder – there was time for a three lap race. Linda and Robin Spiller joined the fleet and
Linda’s Laser chased Nathan Pollard’s leading boat all the way to the finish. Jane Anderson’s Laser
Radial was third from early on with Bob Sampson never managing to make his Laser’s larger sail take
him past. The Perrett and Hilton Solos had their familiar scrap and Brian Pollard and Natasha Routley
in the Tasar got a good view of it.
