Yoof and oldies Tour de Adelaide
Guest User
18 members represented DBSC at the recent Laser Nationals hosted by Adelaide Sailing Club.
We had four standards, five radials and an impressive nine 4.7 representatives.
With the conditions particularly light (often 2-5 knots) in the first half of the regatta,locals were heard saying, “you should have been here last week” and “it’s never like this in Adelaide”. The notorious Adelaide sea breeze did eventually emerge on occasions during the second half of the regatta, but it was mostly very unstable with big variations in the breeze.
The great news was the great turnout and results from the youth.
