Some sailors never give up. Take the die-hard crew at the Chichester Yacht Club who run two race series over the winter. Before Christmas we have the grimly-named Frozen Toe series followed by the more lyrical Snowflake series which runs up to March when normal people return to the water.
I was down on the pontoon in January to take a few snaps. Unfortunately there was very little wind and the contestants soon found themselves becalmed. Returning to shore in sub-zero temperatures using the time-honoured overarm-paddle-while-lying-on-the-prow technique is a feat in itself.
