Guidelines for Participation

Have you ever wanted to join LYC's largest and most competitive racing fleet? Frostbiting at LYC is a signature event that currently has some of the best IC sailors in the country as members. Racing is every Sunday (see schedule below) with a first warning at 1330 hours with as many races as weather permits. 

The fleet is divided into four classes: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Masters (over 60 years of age). Non-LYC club members are welcome but must be recommended by a current fleet member, and/or, by invitation. LYC Club members are encouraged to join. There is a strong emphasis on safety, and all sailing guidelines will be followed. 

All skippers must complete an Entry Form and submit it to the Winter Sailing Committee prior to participating. Guest skippers are welcome to join please reach out to Karen Ronan or Ted Ferrarone.

A crew race may be run at the race committee’s discretion. A minimum of 5 boats is required for a start. Co-Skippers may not participate in the crew race. Daily prizes are awarded by division at the conclusion of racing along with the day's debrief by the top three finishers.The use of dry suits  is recommended while racing.

If you are interested in participating in the 2023 - 2024 season, or if you want to charter an IC, please contact IC Fleet Captain Ted Ferrarone or Winter Sailing Chair Karen Ronan or at 914-318-6356.
