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.

There's a small craft advisory in effect until 4 pm Sunday afternoon, but SailFlow is still predicting winds within our limits. We'll make a determination on the dock for today's frostbite racing.

Fun day of variable conditions (10/27/13)

Gene and Rich joined the usual suspects for a great day of racing with fun conditions. The winds were just shifty and variable enough to keep everyone on their toes.

Gusty start to the 2013-2014 season

Our early start to the frostbite season got off to a rocky start, with three boats getting knocked down by 25 knot gusts during the first race and two tiller failures. Four boats finished, but the race committee canceled the remaining races due to the conditions.
