What will October bring? A stretch of warm, late-summer days, an early blast of winter, or something in between with a crisp, steady breeze? Your guess is as good as ours—but one thing is certain: the Frostbite Race remains a cherished GPSC tradition. As the last official Club-sponsored race of the season, the Frostbite is open to GPSC-owned or member-skippered boats and is sailed in a Jib and Main (JAM) configuration. For the first time in many years, the race will feature its original course layout. After completing the classic triangle, racers will head back out onto the lake for one final mark rounding—an opportunity to savor one last breath of the sailing season. The competition doesn’t end on the water. Following the race, members and guests gather for the annual Chili Party—an afternoon of good food, camaraderie, and a friendly showdown for the title of “Best Chili Recipe.” This year’s race and Chili Party will take place on Sunday, October 12th.
