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.
This weekend we swing into the winter series, which means racing is now on SUNDAY morning. Each week races will count for both a championship and pointscore series, with three races each Sunday.The briefing will be at 07:45am, with launch by 08:00 for the first warning signal at 08:30. Be sure to familiarise yourself with the winter format in the Sailing Instructions. Paul Adam will provide delicious soup to warm us up after racing each week. Visitors are welcome to join at no cost and can launch their boats from the park at DSBC if this is more convenient for them.
