Frostbite racing – 12:00–3:00 PM

Bundle up and hit the starting line - Frostbite Racing is back at the Downtown Sailing Center! Gather your crew and join us for an afternoon of fast, fun racing around the buoys.

Frostbite Racing is a self-run member event.  Members typically meet on the docks before racing to decide on a course for the day. Sailors are welcome to take out the hippity-hop marks (small orange ball marks) to set and retrieve a course, or the group can choose a course using government marks.

Please note that the DSC staff do not assign teams or monitor skipper-to-crew ratios, so sailors are responsible for finding their own boat or crew.

Schedule

• Arrival & Rigging: 12:00 PM
• First Race: 12:30 PM

Find Your Crew

Skippers and crews are encouraged to form teams in advance - use Circle to connect with other sailors and form a team for the day. Don't have a team? Arrive by 12:00 and connect with available skippers and crew on the docks.

Registration opens one week before each event and is required so participants receive timely event updates and cancellation notices.  Skippers must also reserve their boats in advance through RecHub.

Important Notes:

• Main and jib only - No spinnakers
• Lifejackets are required
• Skippers must reserve boats in advance
• Registration is required for all participants
• Racing will be canceled if winds exceed 20 kts or staff feels conditions are unsafe
• Participation is at sailors' own risk. Please read the Fall/Winter Sailing Policies before going out.

Cool weather. Hot competition. Come race with us!
