Double Bay Sailing Club is managed and run entirely by volunteers. As the saying goes, “many hands make light work. There is always work to be done in the upkeep of our shed and the ongoing running of dinghy racing.

This week we’d like to thank Andrew Simpson. On Saturday as the club was packed up and kitchen door closed, a beep beep beep noise was heard by the final attendees. After some detective work to figure out where the noise coming from it transpired the fridge door had been left open. With no key to access the canteen. members still in attendance scratched their heads on how to close it. Andrew Simpson put his structural engineering prowess to use and using a carbon top section was able to close the fridge door through the grill ensuring ingredients for the 18’ skiff toasties didn’t perish overnight.

Thank you to Clare Alexander for sharing this story and photos.

The club is full of people making wonderful contributions around the place, and sometimes behind the scenes. Let us know who deserves a mention!
