Welcome to the Spring 2010 Frostbite Series.

We just completed our Fall 2009 Series and I am pleased to report another season of great sailing on the Connecticut River.  As the warm autumn days move into winter, our thoughts shift from sailing to our families and the holidays.  During this festive season, let us not forget the wonder of winter sailing.  We would not be “Frostbiters” if we did not yearn for the challenge of cold weather racing.  

Spring Series- The spring series begins on March 7th and runs every Sunday until May 2^nd. Racing begins at 1:00pm with no race beginning after 3:30pm.

We currently expect to have four classes participating, Etchells, Ideal 18s, JY 15s, and Lasers. We are open to and would love to see other classes participate.  We will start any fleet with 4 or more boats.

Work Party- In preparation for the Spring Series, FBYC has scheduled a work day on March 6^th beginning at 12:00 noon. We need to launch all of the crash boats and make sure all of our equipment is in working order.  If you have the time, please join us on Saturday f march 6^th for a couple of hours.

Volunteers – For more then 80 years, FBYC has been hosting a frostbite series.  We could not do this without the commitment and generosity of our Volunteers.  If you would like to volunteer, we encourage you to do so.  We appreciate the contribution of all skill levels. 

Haven’t sailed with us before?  Frostbite is open to any sailor who is age 15 or older.  Sign up for a whole season or kick the tires with a single day of racing.  Please send me an e-mail, and I’ll connect you with a fellow class participant you can speak with about our fun, challenging racing here on the river.

Don’t have a boat- occasionally we have opportunities for sailors who are looking to crew or a boat.  If you are seeking a sailing opportunity, please contact Vice Commodore, Mark Kondracky, 860-399-726, mrk399@aol.com.

All the 2010 paperwork has been updated here on line.  Series paperwork is linked above with an added link for the FBYC Spring Regatta.
