The last race of the Frostbite series is this Sunday….St. Patrick’s Day!

Spaceman Spiff is leading the series with a total of 14 points. Wildcard and Sane Asylum are second and third with 15 and 16 points respectively.

Frostbite awards are scheduled for March 24.

The 2013 schedule has been posted in the “2013 Regatta Schedule” tab above. There will be opportunities this year for local boats to qualify for the 2014 J/24 World Championships in Newport R.I. I’m working on getting that information and will publish as soon as the qualification slots have been identified.
