The Frostbite Cup: it all started in 2015…

Cold hands, hot competition.
What began in 2015 as a bold idea from a few R&ZV Naarden J/80 skippers is now the biggest one-design winter fleet around. These days ~25 J/80s line up each month—joined by international teams—for fast, fair, adrenaline-packed racing.

Why join?

• Pure up-&-down action: windward/leeward courses set right in the middle of the Gooimeer.

• Winter = no weed: we use the entire lake to build top-quality courses.

• Family-friendly calendar: dates play nicely with popular ski weeks.

• Sharp format: first start 11:00, 1–3 races per Sunday, 45–60 min each.

• Après-sail: prizegiving after racing—then the bar is open.

Who it’s for
J/80 owners and crews who want tight one-design racing, smooth race management, and a great winter vibe.

See you on the start line in Naarden!
