The Frozen Few

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.

Red flag: no frostbite racing on 11/24

Flag color: 
red

With whitecaps in the bay, gusts at the dock of 28 knots, and a forecast that the wind will continue to build, frostbite racing is canceled for 11/24.

I hope to see everyone next week.

One race in extremely light air

Very light wind made for extremely slow sailing. The race committee set up a course facing SE, but the real wind direction was anybody's guess. The first race took about half a hour, and the second race was called off when the fleet drifted past the end of the finish line.
