SAILING SLG After two consecutive weeks of race cancellations, 21 boats were finally able to answer the gun for the Laser Frostbite Series on Sunday.

Similarly, third place was also sorted out using the system that rewards the sailor with the highest placing. Brett Wright came out ahead of Todd Olson, the former's two wins besting a sole triumph by the latter.
