Frostbiting in Rhodes 19s

Ahhh, Boston winter. After a year like we've all had, you may be ready to curl up somewhere warm, perhaps enjoying a toasty fire and a hot chocolate...OR you could join us for the best racing of the year!

Every Saturday from November through March, Courageous hosts Frostbiting, winter racing in 24 Rhodes 19s. Our fleet features top-notch competition, a commitment to sportsmanship, and 24 well-matched Rhodes on the line each week. Best of all, our Frostbite racers are supporting free and low-cost programs for kids, while enjoying the great breeze, good company, and quality race management that are the hallmarks of Frostbiting at Courageous. Skippers must have extensive racing experience and a solid understanding of the current Racing Rules of Sailing.

If you are a new skipper joining our fleet, racing/sailing resumes should be sent to caitlyn@courageoussailing.org and nate@courageoussailing.org for approval prior to registration.
