DBSC Welcomes Return to Racing

After ten long weeks of COVID-19 restrictions that prevented us from racing, members were ecstatic at last Sunday’s start to the Winter Championship. Despite the frigid morning, 23 keen sailors arrived at the crack of dawn for the first three races of the series. 

There was a nice moderate westerly breeze of 6-12kts and good close racing. The lead changed multiple times during races, and the wins were shared around too. The winners were: Standards: David Newman (race 1), Jules Hall (race 2), Luke Parker (race 3); Radials:  Brooke Wilson (race 1), Otto Henry (race 2), Sylvie Stannage (race 3).

We appreciate the efforts of all sailors in observing the COVID requirements.

Thanks to PRO Andrew Cox, COTD Christine and Tim Patton, CCO David Murphy, and to Brett Beyer for running the BBWP.

We look forward to seeing everyone back at the club on Sunday morning for heats 4-6 of the Winter Champs.
