Twilights Returns this Week
Steven London
Each Wednesday and Thursday starting Today we will have Twilights at DBSC:
Wednesday Twilight Sailing 5pm Splash - 7:30pm
The format for Wednesdays is that anyone can post an intention to sail in the WhatsApp “DBSC twilights” group chat, to arrange "ad hoc" member sailing - between existing Harbour marks, often with a "rabbit start". (there is no rescue boat for this activity) coordinate amongst yourselves.Thursday Twilight Racing 5pm Splash, Racing between 5:30-7:30pm
There will be a Coach and a Volunteer on a Support RIB to run Sprint races - two laps - with a set of 3 marks, the start is between the two bottom marks, a windward-leeward course to the top mark, and gate finish downwind. Generally a 3 minute sequence, single massed start. If you participate in the racing and infringe another sailor you will be expected to do a penalty turn. If you know you are OCS (or the coach lets you know) you can come back and dip the start, or do a turn when clear of other boats on the first leg.Members who have signed up via the newsletter have access to the coach, coach notes and videos in a private Thursday WhatsApp group.

All other members are welcome to come along and join in the racing.
Thursday night quick dinner after racing at The Oaks. Great food. All welcome
