Women’s Laser Regatta Needs Your Help

Guest User

In just a few weeks the DBSC Women’s Laser Regatta will kick off – and it’s set to be a wonderful weekend of sailing, with 30 women signed up so far. One of the highlights will be the opening ceremony on Sunday September 9 with local State MP, Gabrielle Upton, presiding. The Mayor of Woollahra, Peter Cavanagh, will attend on Sunday afternoon to hand out prizes. 

The Committee thanks everyone who has very kindly donated the use of their boat, gear and/or time.  We still have a few volunteer slots we need to fill for our weekend and hope we can get some help for the following:  

Saturday September 8

8.30 am-9.30 am
Car Park attendant taking money for parking

2.00 pm- 5.00 pm
Derigging assistance -- this is needed so that we can derig boats quickly before we decorate the Club for a sit-down dinner

5.00 pm – 6.00 pm
Decorate and set up for dinner  -- Cocktails start at 6 pm so we have a very tight window to make this happen

Sunday September 9

9 am – 11 am
Assistance with rigging -- this is to maximise the sailing time for the group

3 pm – 4.30 pm
Assistance with derigging -- this is to help derig boats, wash them down and put them away.   We are targeting a 4 pm prize giving, so help from members would be appreciated.  Come and join us for a beer!! 

We are also still also looking to borrow 2 ribs for coaches and for Nic Douglas who is running our PR program. If you can assist with any of these jobs, or can lend a rib, please advise Christine Linhart at c.linhart@unsw.edu.au.
