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.

2023-2024
The Frozen Few return to the water on Sunday, November 5.
Registration, racing fees, and waivers are online this year. When you complete your registration, you will immediately have a chance to pay your racing fee by credit card. Electronic waivers will go out by email a few days before racing. You must complete this waiver before racing.
Note that a separate winter boat storage contract is required to keep your Sunfish at the yacht club. The Sunfish winter storage fee is $200 for EYC members or $250 for non-members. Please fill out this form and mail it to the club with your payment.
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.
