The Frozen Few, 2014-2015

Season standings

The wind strikes back

After several weeks of light air, the wind decided to pick up today and took several boats with it. Despite the base wind being within our guidelines, the gusts dismasted two boats in the second race, and one bent an upper boom when it turtled. Many boats capsized, and the race committee called off racing after the second race because the safety boat couldn't keep up.

Despite the problems, everyone seemed to come off the water in good spirits and happy to have gotten in some exciting sailing.

Another slow day at the races

Another day of light air challenged the racers and forced the race committee to move the course out into more open water. Big wind shifts added an element of luck.

Patience Required

There was almost no wind for the start of today's racing. The first race took over an hour, but we eventually got a light south wind are were able to complete four races.

Great start to the 2014-2015 season

We had a very strong start to the frostbite season today with 13 skippers at the line. A very shifty wind oscillating between west and southwest kept everyone on their toes, with lots of races won or lost depending on who was where when the wind shifted.
