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.

Final Fling for the Frozen Few: March 4
We hope that all of our Edgewood Sunfish skippers will be able to attend the 2012 NBYA Frostbite Regatta All Classes (FRAC). This will be the last day of frostbite racing this season, and will allow us to make up one of the days we missed in the spring series due to weather.
First warning whistle will be at 11 am.

Edgewood has revived the Narragansett Bay Frostbite open regatta, and will host this year's event Sunday March 4.
Busy day for the Race Committee - Frostbite racing results for 2/26/2012
It was a busy day for the Race Committee as Sunfish toppled over in strong gusty breeze from the NorthWest on Sunday. Wind was around 10 knots during the lulls and about 20 knots during the gusts. The safety boat left the line four times to assist capsized sailors. Temperatures were mild, at 40 degrees and 30 degree wild chill.
Dave S finished first for the day, with Catherine one point behind in second place. Bill S. took third for the day.
