A brief report after a brief day of brief sprints

Webmaster

 A motley crew of about 20 sailors, many of whom appeared to have overindulged on festive leftovers, greeted smoky skies and a building N/Eer for the first day’s racing of 2020.  Because the Laser National titles were on in Victoria, DBSC hosted a series of sprints.  Mike Dunne and Tim Heath set a 15 minute windward/leeward course off Point Piper.

4 races were held in the initially 12 knot, albeit somewhat inconsistent breeze before the wind eventually hit 25-30 knots, the chop built against an outgoing tide, the marks started drifting and we wisely decided to continue the festive season with early refreshments on the deck. 

Thanks to the canteen crew, led by Shirley and thanks to whoever filled the fridge with a variety of beers 🍻 .
