Race report 14 May 2023
Guest User
From our PRO Nick Pellow:
There was a strong turnout of over 30 lasers for the first 3 races of the DBSC Winter Series. Racing kicked off slightly behind schedule due to many boats being late to leave the club. Due to the possibility of the wind dying during Winter Series, the PRO and Race Committee try to keep the races punctual.
Thank you to everyone who signed-on, ensuring you received Points for rising and shining at such a fresh hour.
It should be noted signing on is now compulsory for all DBSC races if you wish to get a result. You can alert the Committee Boat on the water if you forgot for the day, however you have to have registered on the Sailor App - https://www.dbsc.com.au/sailor-sign-on-app at least once.
The breeze remained a fairly constant Westerly of about 5-7 knots across all 3 races, the sun shone the entire time even with threatening storm clouds surrounding the natural amphitheatre and colosseum where do battle each week - that is Double Bay.
The race committee were paid a visit by Sydney Harbour’s famous Water Rats during on-water proceedings - to check that we had not forgotten to wish our mothers a Happy Mother’s Day on such a glorious morning.
Well done to all sailors on the day. Results are available in the Sailor app and online.
