Frosties 2018 Race 8 :- Code Zero Power

Race 8 of the frosties was the second race on race day 4. It was once again sailed in dull rainy condition with a light breeze from the north east.

For the second race in a row there was a large wind shift during the starting sequence which resulted in the pin end of the start line being heavily favoured.

Two boats were brave enough to attempt a port had start, with "Go to Red" (mumm 36 racing yacht) crossing the fleet of port tack after defending the pin end of the start lined from "What's the Rush 2".

With the size of the Wind shift "Go To Red" was able to deploy her Code Zero head sail shortly after the start, this allowed her to power her way to the first mark while the rest of the fleet slowed each other down as they tried to find a a clear lane to the first mark.

The code zero powered "Go To Red" to victory making up for the poor showing in race 7. There are still 3 boats in the running for the overall win coming into the last race for the series.
