A site chronicling the formation of a Cape Cod Frosty fleet out of Beverly Massachusetts.
Events
The first two boats in the fleet launched today!
Without a rescue boat on hand, the sail was short but successful. The fleet was christened with a blessing led by Rachael Abell, and a toast was raised by all that could attend. We look forward to launching the next three boats which will soon be off the workbench and in the water!
The founding members of the fleet all met thru Thursday night “Beer Can” racing out of Jubilee Yacht Club in Beverly, MA (https://www.jycracing.org). The completion of the first boat corresponded with the award banquet for the 2025 season, so we just had to bring it along to try and get more people interested — and I think we did!
Frosty Fleet 9, the only active Cape Cod Frosty fleet, was kind enough to welcome us to come up and check out their boats. They even offered to let us take one for a spin if we had a dry suit. Little did I know that meant that I would sail and RACE (my first dinghy race actually). It was a blast. I stayed in the boat, and FF9 was super patient with a newbie!
