Race Report 18 December 2021

On Saturday the club hosted sprint racing owing to the SailGP dominating the harbour. Once again, the conditions were fresh with a bumpy ride on the harbour. PRO Mike Dunne set up the sprint course in Rushcutters Bay for four sharp and snappy 20 minute (or so) races. He was ably assisted by Richard Au (LTRAR), John Vasey (COTD) and Scott Finlayson (co-COTD). Off the water, John Verco and Daryl Lawrence assisted in the canteen.
After racing, members headed out on the club RIBs to watch the SailGP where we befriended members of Narrabeen Sailing Club off Darling Point (more to come) ...

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 Peter Collie and John Vasey for moving the fridges to their new and improved location adjacent to the canteen.
The club is full of people making wonderful contributions around the place, and sometimes behind the scenes. Do you know of someone who deserves a mention? If so, email us and tell us why they should be club member of the week.

This is the last week of twilight sailing before Christmas. The forecast is for a moderate SE wind and warm temperatures with no CYCA traffic on the harbour.
