Scott Sandell felt an ardent desire to demonstrate his new black carbon fiber sail to fellow club members, and he did just that. The chase boat covered his every tack and jibe as he careened solo around the inner harbor at breakneck, planning speeds. MICHAEL MELLA

The official last regatta of the Breakwater Yacht Club’s Frostbite Sunfish series was February 28.
The club’s “Sunnie” fleet is made up of artists, designers and architects — all people who love possibility.
Over the pandemic winter, sailmakers Kevin Farrar and Scott Sandell have built at least 10 new prototype sails, some of which Sandell cut on his kitchen floor.
The small craft advisory (winds 18-33 knots; 24-38 mph) for the closing frostbite regatta proved to be spot on. The southeast winds were a steady 20 knots with gusts to over 30. With only one chase boat to aid capsized boats in such conditions, the official regatta was abandoned.
