THE THIRD ANNUAL UP FROM THE ASHES - - The Sailing School and the Edgewood Yacht Club jointly sponsor winter racing for the "Edgewood Frozen Few." This weekend COMMEMORATES the Sunday three years ago when the Rhode Island sailing community actually lifted those Edgewood FrozenFew up from the ashes of the burned-out Clubhouse. With borrowed boats from Narragansett Bay area SunFish sailors, with publicity in some fine TV coverage on NBC Channel 10, and with intense encouragement, including generous help from Port Edgewood, from West Marine and from Laser Performance, the FrozenFew kicked off the dust and put their SunFish back to racing, in time for the "usual" 11am first gun that Sunday.
Now in 2014 a dozen skippers of the "Frozen Few" are still at it: racing every Sunday morning from late October through early March.
This weekend's Sunfish "Up from the Ashes" regatta is supported by skippers, well-wishers and families of the Frozen Few, along with an unusual array of prizes contributed by local well-knowns including Intensity Sails, New England Action Sports, Sun Space Energy, West Marine and Zim Sailing. Room for visitors and cheering families. Racing starts at 11am. Awards, etc., in the Cottage about 1:30pm. All welcome. (This is an open racing event, described below in EYC/ESS NOR and SI.)
