Frostbiting sails

[MLP8415]

Would like to know if you are using your best, expensive sail to frostbite.

Hell yes! Even if its a frost bite, its still a regatta.

Depends on the courses and winds IMHO. Short courses, shifty winds, it's more about getting your head out of the boat and sailing shifts/puffs..

Longer courses w/ steady wind, then sail is more important...

heavy air - save the good sail.

Also depends on the goals and your wallet - is doing the best you possibly can in the frostbite races/series the goal or is it tune up for down south events..

Absolutely NOT! Frostbiting tends to be informal (and the US Olympic contender has just been selected )

agree, frostbiting can at times be uncomfortable enough. use for training, practice, keeping your edge. the cold and other conditions can put extra wear on your equipment. use a practice sail or buy one of the Olympic Trial rags.
