WCSC Frostbite Series 2024

Welcome to the WCSC Frostbite Series for 2024! The Frostbite is a pursuit-start race series open to all sailors and boats and is a great way to enjoy your club and your boat over the winter months without the formality of windward-leeward buoy racing. If you haven’t tried a pursuit race before, government navigation buoys are used for course marks, and boats receive staggered start times based on their PHRF ratings, so the slower boats start first, followed by faster boats. This eliminates all those crowds at the start. It also adds a “fun factor” to the race because you can see exactly how you’re doing against the competition: If you are ahead of a boat on the racecourse, you are beating that boat. The first boat to the finish wins, simple as that.

Races are scheduled for 1 Jan, 6 Jan, 20 Jan, 27 Jan, 10 Feb, and 24 Feb. We expect to have soup or chili served at the clubhouse after each race, a great opportunity to warm up at the fireplace and talk trash about the day’s racing.

Please go to the club calendar (under the News and Events tab) and register for the event. This really helps to know how many people we need to prepare food for.
