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

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! Thanks to Richard for doing this on his own initiative.
