Wind from Where?! Frostbite racing results for 1/29/2012

Skippers scramble to choose their tacks at the start of race 2

Race Committee, Stuart, placed the wind mark between the north and south docks this week for the frostbite sailors at Edgewood. Wind was variable, shifty with strong gusts. Wind was mostly from the west, except when it wasn't. Lulls would often precede a dramatic shift in wind direction. Four boats capsized during racing when gusts caught sailors by surprise. Boats were all right side up again quickly, and sailors enjoyed figuring out where the wind was going to come from next.

rounding the mark in Up From the Ashes 2012 regatta

The Frozen Few skipped a week due to weather conditions outside the range described in the Sailing Instructions and jumped in again this week right after clearing out after Saturday's snowstorm with the "Up From the Ashes" regatta. The regatta was sponsored by both Edgewood Yacht Club and Edgewood Sailing School. After the Edgewood Yacht Club building burned in January 2011, the Frozen Few were first back on the water to sail with a lot of help from friends and neighbors around the bay.

Racing - New Year's Day 2012

hanging out with the race committee between starts

Edgewood Sunfish sailors were in glad spirits to welcome 2012! Eleven boats on the water; ten in competition. One skipper -- setting a startling pace for the group - - arrived in dress shoes and tie for the New Year's regatta. Another, Andrew, had to miss the action: his boat went away without him during a recent storm, and although recovered thanks to a neighbor's alerting us, and help from Ted and Jonathan getting it back, the boat was damaged and the Frozen Few's Spare Boat had a daggerboard issue.
