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.

Five Frozen Few thaw out 1/13/13 to race after Yellow Ducks

Warm weather and a light steady breeze out of the South brought four Frozen Few and a new first-time skipper to the line. Welcome Greg. The day's five races including a duck-hunt clicked by with no mis-haps. Scoring in the fleet for the day was tense between Doug and Wayne, ending tied, with equal points, equal wins on each other, and only finally resolved by the two skippers' finish order in the last race. Also, for the day's top honor, Ray and Jeff were separated by only one point. Some said, "dread curse of the Yellow Ducks".
