We were not sure what to expect having had a forecast with northerly winds – rather unusual; so we arrive with a dying breeze out of the west, then the water glassing out… not a good start for sailing. However our patience was rewarded, with a nice breeze out of the north kicking in and…

We seem to be going through the usual change of seasons weather at the moment.  I think we all turned up expecting some rain, but nothing eventuated.  Early on while we were setting up, there was a promise of a nice little breeze from the west, but that fizzed out, and we were left glassed…

This report from Noel McPherson, yet another great description of the day’s happenings. “We were not sure what to expect for the racing yesterday.  Earlier in the week showers and high winds were threatened.  However we were greeted with rather more benign conditions.  The day turned out having a bit of everything… sun, deep brooding…

I think the dreamers turned out to sail yesterday.  We have had fairly constant rain for a few days, and it was a bit wishful to think the day would be any different, given the forecast.  Even driving there didn’t give much hope until driving over the top of the Drummoyne bridge… was that a…

16 sailors turned up for a supposedly rainy day, but it was bright sunshine until the latter part of the day, when it became a little threatening.  It was jackets off on the suntrap of the deck. We had a south westerly breeze running – fairly constantly around 9 knots, but with the gusts up…

I can report that Brian is now back at home, and hopefully we will see him back on the deck in the coming weeks. Yesterday, it was our scratch racing day, with the forecast offering showers all day, with our now usual south orientated stream of air. We had 13 sailors check in, and 16…

In Brian Chapman’s absence, I’ve put together the scoring and report.  Get well soon Brian!  Yesterday, it was our handicap racing day, and just to liven things up, we welcomed the first blast of winter, even though it is not yet here officially. Fifteen Sailors chilled in the odd conditions… warm in the sun, but…

Yesterday was Autumn at its best. Eighteen DAC Sailors enjoyed near perfect conditions for some Scratch racing. With a temperature approaching 24oC, a Nor’Easter appeared before start time and gradually increased during racing. The windspeed started around 10 to 20 Km/Hr., with gusts reaching 30, (6 to 12 gusts to 17 Knots). Race 1 saw…

Fifteen DAC Sailors attended our Scratch event yesterday. Conditions gave us a pleasant Autumn day with a temperature reaching 22oC. The wind was testing, initially from the South but backing to the South East for most of our races. The windspeed ranged from 6 Km/Hr., with the odd gust to the low twenties, (3 to…

We had 13 DAC Sailors for yesterday’s Scratch event. The forecast was close to the mark but sadly the expected Nor’Easter didn’t appear. The direction was fairly steady from the North West. The wind speed ranged from 4 to 7 Km/Hr., with a few gusts to 21, (2 to 4 Knots, gusts to 11). We…
