Frostbite races are running again in the winter of 2025-26, and we are delighted to have Viking Marine on board as a sponsor again this year.
We try to hold racing on most Sundays from November through to March, weather permitting. You can find news and updates here, or on our Facebook page.
The races are intended for mono-hull dinghies, but we may allow other light craft that can race safely on the same course as the dinghies.
Frostbite Races
Racing is scheduled on Sundays, with the first start at 14:00. We normally have two races each day, if the weather allows, but we might have three races when conditions are good to make up for those days when racing has to be cancelled. Racing usually takes place inside Dun Laoghaire harbour, with permission from the Harbour Master. If necessary, we might race outside the harbour, but not too far away. The courses may be triangular, windward-leeward or a mix of the two.
Racing is divided into two series:
- Series 1: 2 November to 21 December 2025
- Series 2: 4 January to 22 March 2026
You can enter for one series or for both together.
You can also see a summary of the entries so far.
Documents
The Notice of Race gives details of the series, entry fees and other information you might need to decide whether you want to enter the series.
The Sailing Instructions specify the rules and explain how racing will be run. Any amendments will be posted here.
If you want to request a protest hearing, redress, etc., you can download a Hearing Request Form as a Microsoft Word document or as a pdf document.
Results
Results will be available on Halsail shortly after we finish processing them.
HalSail shows the overall results first, and you can scroll down to see the results for individual races. The blue button with the down arrow, just below the DMYC burgee, will bring you directly to the latest race. What you see depends on the width of your screen – on a mobile device, you may see more detail if you use landscape orientation.
