The Frozen Few
Seasons
Winter "Frostbite" Racing
Edgewood Sailing School and Edgewood Yacht Club support a vibrant fleet of over a dozen frostbite sailors who sail Sunfish on Sundays from October through April, including Columbus Day and New Year's Day regattas, and the annual "Up From The Ashes" regatta which commemorates recovery from club-house fire of 2011. Edgewood Sailing School can help you get safely started with this challenging and rewarding winter sport. The Frozen Few also welcome spectators to cheer on racers.

At last, a perfect day
The Frozen Few finally caught a break and got a beautiful, sunny day with moderate winds. John Howell of the Warwick Beacon came out to write about the fleet and take some pictures. You can read his article on the Beacon website.

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.
