The Winthrop Frostbite Sailing Club
Welcome to the Winthrop Frostbite Sailing Club, your gateway to exhilarating frostbite sailing adventures in the heart of Winthrop, MA, just a stone’s throw away from Boston’s Logan Airport. Brace yourself for a season of high-octane racing, camaraderie, and the thrill of navigating icy waters aboard Interclubs and Lasers. Our racing hub is none other than the esteemed Cottage Park Yacht Club (CPYC) in Winthrop, Massachusetts. With a longstanding commitment to the sailing community, CPYC is a hub of excitement, convenience, and warm welcomes.
Frostbiting at CPYC is the best short course dinghy racing in New England.

Please come join us. Bring your IC or Laser. We also have loaner boats. There are often Interclub skippers looking for dinghy-sized crews! Send a note to the contact link above.
Parking lot is for CPYC members only. Non-CPYC members must be accompanied by a member when accessing the club on non-sailing days.
Safety, Safety, Safety! The water is cold. Please dress accordingly! “RRS 4. DECISION TO RACE – The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone”. Please do not leave the dock until a support boat has left the dock. If all support boats are tied up rescuing other boats, please return to the safety of the dock, either temporarily, or for the day, conditions permitting. Please tie down your boats. We often get storms over the winter, and boats which are not secured properly will likely end up somewhere other than where you put them.
