I did the Hoo Freezer the year we arrived in snow, about 4 years or so ago. First time I towed a boat a long distance, first open event, first time sailing in Kent. First sail (that year) for a few months Well, what happened, I launched, got out of the marina, struggled, capsized, got it up, capsized again, got towed in. Did I start - NO!! |

Ah yes, that one's etched in my mind too. One side of my face went numb on the sail out to the start area, and by the end I had to ask the crew not to go out on the wire - I was so cold it was all I could do to steer, let alone play the main Nothing like that today! |

Well the deal always was that I got a new one, and the one I had was a bit of a hastily thrown together for the dinghy show 1st boat out of the mould, so it's gone back for inspection and repair, and I shall probably end up with a new one as originally planned (Only red if I get my way and if I get my double way it'll have a red baby kick ass brother). |

You can enter the Freezer on the day - most do (to the consternation of the organizers!). You need to do so and sign on by 09:30 this year, though (it's all to do with tide times) |
