Starting Whistle for The Frozen Few, 2010

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

The last of the cruising boats gently landed on poppets in the North parking lot of the Edgewood Yacht Club over the weekend. This week there was a freeze warning issued for Rhode Island. We've also noticed that the flock of black ducks has arrived. The signs are clear. It is time to mobilize The Frozen Few winter Sunfish racing fleet!

We had 11 skippers participate last season, and so far, it looks like there will be plenty of competitors again turning out to take on the elements and the challenging task of sailing fast round the marks in twitchy little boats.

So, try on your dry suit and find your warm pair of socks! While you at it, be sure to check in with us, too. Get in touch if want to sail or participate with the Race Committee. You will need to register and sign your liability waiver, and make arrangements to deliver your Sunfish to the racks. We'll all pitch in to get the fall season of Frostbite sailing under way in the upper Narragansett bay!

The fleet's festivities begin on Sunday, November 7, 2010 at 11 am.  The Sailing Instructions and Notice of Race for 2010 have been updated on the web site with minor changes. 

Looking forward to seeing you at the starting line!
