A crystal blue sky, warm May temperatures, and a decent 12 to 15 knot westerly breeze enticed a fleet of over 25 sailors to participate in the opening three heats of the combined DBSC winter championship and pointscore racing on Sunday. Racing started promptly at 8:30am and we were off the water by 10:45am to enjoy some hot tomato soup on the deck courtesy of Paul Adam. A shorter course and a combined fleet start (with the Radials starting two minutes ahead of the standard rigs) made for a competitive and fun morning of racing.Full results for both series are available on our website.Thanks to Kirk Marcolina, Scott Hunter, Julian Van Aalst and Chris Berg

Volly of the week!

Double Bay Sailing Club is managed and run entirely by volunteers. As the saying goes, “many hands make light work. There is always work to be done in the upkeep of our shed and the ongoing running of dinghy racing.This week we’d like to thank Richard George. Richard has filled the holes in our lawn nearest the concrete semi-circle. This has taken 9 bags of dirt, grass seeds, grass runners and fencing off the area. It has been a big and much needed job!

Race report 30 April 2022

The club championship season finale was a fizzer on Saturday, with insufficient breeze to run a race despite an enthusiastic turn out of sailors. Perhaps this was the success of Rod Barnes’ hoist training? Or perhaps it was the interest in finding out the source of Mark Gray’s leak?Once racing was called off at 1530, Pat Levy and Peter Collie fired up the barbecue for one last steak and sausage sizzle for the season.Many thanks to everyone who turned up for duties on the day – Michael Osborne (PRO), Steve London (LTRAR), James Tudball (COTD) and Tory Epworth (CoCOTD). Assisting Paul and Shirley in the canteen were Vic Whitby and Mark Gray, with Peter Collie on post barbecue clean up detail.
