Week 16 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, We did it! The official 2020-21 Courageous Sailing Frostbite season came to an end this past Saturday. It was probably our most challenging day of racing all year, but what else would you expect to happen this year? We’ve got a few things to talk about today, including announcing our series and overall season winners, …
Week 14 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, The conditions this past weekend could not have been more different than the previous weeks, and that is a very good thing. It was a day made for frostbiting, with totally clear skies, a complete lack of other traffic, and winds that kept everyone guessing and on their toes. After racing I heard …
Week 12 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, Well the wind gods were finally on our side for a Saturday. You know I almost jinxed it beforehand, but this past Saturday was some of the best wind we’ve had since all the way back in Week 2. But before we could go sailing, we had to shovel. Starting on Thursday night …
Valentine’s Day recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, Well it certainly didn’t look promising at the start, but by the end of the day we had five great races in the books! After an hour delay due to a complete lack of wind and a tanker we decided to head out. I don’t think anyone was super optimistic when we left …
Week 10 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, For the second time this season we had winds at the very upper edge of what our boats can handle. While most people wouldn’t even consider going for a walk in that kind of weather, we had twenty-two (!!!) boats on the line for some pretty extreme winter sailing. Temperatures that day were …
Week 9 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, Another great week in the books! This time we had some bone-chilling temperatures, but that didn’t stop nineteen hardy teams from showing up and battling it out over four (very tough) races. Lucky for us this week the wind speed was a bit less extreme. If it had been the same wind as …
Week 8 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, You may recall that after Week 2 I said something to the effect of “you can’t really call this frostbiting.” Well after this week, I don’t think there is any doubt as to why we call this Frostbiting. On our most challenging day of the year by far, we had a full fleet …
Week 6 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, Because Week 5 was cancelled due to a lack of breeze, and coupled with our usual holiday break, it had been four weeks since we’ve been able to go racing. But luckily for us we had terrific (and frustrating) conditions on the course all day long. To start we had sunshine, which is always …
Week 4 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, Have you dried out and warmed up yet? Week 4 was not for the faint of heart, but we still managed to have seventeen boats on the line for another great week of racing, despite some “less than ideal” conditions. We had light and variable winds. We had a ton of current ripping …
Week 2 recap- 2020/2021 Hello Frostbiters, Although one could hardly call last weekend “Frostbiting” what with 60-plus degree temperatures, sunny skies and great breeze. Welcome to our Week 2 recap. I have my notes to share for the week, and I’m also very happy to share some great tips from Ken Leger as well. Let’s get to it! It was …
