Around the Buoy

EP 23: The Newport Frostbiting Fleet


Listen Later

When Newport Harbor empties out in the winter, a group of intrepid dinghy sailors takes the opportunity to hit the water. Every Sunday from October to April, the members of Laser Fleet 413 gather on the beach at Sail Newport to launch their boats for some around the buoys racing. Some call them nuts or crazy and how could you blame them, but as fleet co-captain, Scott Pakenham will tell you, there is no better time to sail in Newport. Take a listen as we talk with Scott about what it is like to chip the ice of the lines, all in the name of some great racing. Photo Credit: Joe Berkeley
