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.

Frostbite racing results for 1/24/2010

A nearly perfect  day of sailing today Start!: 9 of the 11 skippers crowd the line  -  24Jan10Start!: 9 of the 11 skippers crowd the line - 24Jan10with 11 boats on the line. At first, prospects looked bleak.  There was no wind and a thin layer of ice on the course. But as race time approached, a nice S/SE breeze filled in and skippers skimmed through the ice with bright sun.

Scores were tight, forcing tie-breaking between Fauss and Kyle, and between Doug and JonC.  Thanks to Gene for clearing the deck before skippers arrived, and to Fauss, who "paid" for his first-place by providing clam chowder for the whole FrozenGang, to go with Madelyn's cheese biscuits.

Frostbite racing results for 1/17/2010

Because of easterly winds we moved the starting line off the dock and into open water. Skies were overcast, winds were moderate, and temperatures were relatively mild.

This was a big day for ties! Michael, Jeff and David W tied for second place. Catherine and Dave S. tied for seventh. The online scoring system now knows about rules A8.1 and A8.2, and has broken the ties accordingly.
