ROYAL CHANNEL ISLANDS YACHT CLUB
PALLOT GLASS & WINDOWS FROSTBITE SERIES
Starting at 10:30, the fifth race in this eight race series was held in St Aubinβs Bay yesterday, Sunday 28th December. The strong and very cold winds that had prevailed earlier in the week, with wind chill to minus 5 degrees, had eased a little to become fresh east-north-easterly winds with near thirty knot gusts as nine boats came to the line, Jewel making her first appearance in the Series. Skies were mainly overcast with slight to moderate seas.
