Racing with DC Sail

Frostbiting: Sundays, November - March

If you're interested in sailing through the winter months, DC Sail's frostbiting will get you out on the water just about every Sunday from November - March for racing on DC Sail's FJs, Lasers and RS boats. Racing is $50 for each 6-week series for members.

It is a REQUIREMENT that all frostbite sailors wear the proper gear while participating.  See the NOR below for details.

DC Sail highly recommends that racers inform themselves about the dangers of cold water before they participate in Frostbiting. Please visit COLDWATERBOOTCAMP for more information.
