Frostbite-2 (Sunday, October 11, 2026)

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Race with ANSA's fleet in the Pirates Cove Racing Club Frostbite Series. There are 8 races from October 4 to November 22 on Sunday afternoons.

There will be a flat fee of $120 to participate in any or all of the series. The fee will be invoiced separately following your first Frostbite registration. Skippers fly for free! Crew and Skippers both are invited to register for each race that they can attend.

Race start time is 13:00, crew must be at "C" Dock at 12:00 noon to prepare vessels, assign crews and get underway.

Races are usually finished within two hours, so wrap up time may be 16:00, but sometimes later depending on wind conditions.

Do you know how to wrap a line on a winch, grind a winch, manage a mainsheet traveller, adjust jib car lead position, sit on the high side rail? Sailors should have sailing experience, through ASA 103 or equivalent, and understand basic sail trim concepts.

Please review the Sailing Instructions provided by PCRC which contain the rules as well as the courses and a chart of the racing marks.
