I drove over the Drummoyne Bridge and noted the wind was from the west…  not a good start, but by the time I arrived at DAC, a sea breeze had kicked in, making everyone feel lifted a little, given some of the previous winds we have had. First, we all expressed our best wishes to…

Happy Easter to you all. We started the day in proper fashion as Judy Evans presented us all with Easter Eggs, thank you Judy, a thoughtful touch! Our thanks also go to Trevor Bowden. Trevor arrived to sail but continuing electrical problems foiled his day. Trevor opted to act as Race Officer and to score…

Sixteen DAC Sailors attended our Scratch racing yesterday. We were quite lucky with the weather as the forecast suggested a good chance of rain. It remained dry for our sailing with the temperature reaching 32oC. We started with a light Westerly which faded to a drifter after 2 races. Races 3 and 4 took ages…

In my absence, Noel McPherson has done the report honours, and what a great report!  “I think we had a bit of everything yesterday.  The weather was threatening, early rain; then the water was glassed out to start; then puffs each way and in any direction other than what the weather bureau indicated; rain; and…

Fourteen DAC Sailors attended our Scratch racing yesterday. The conditions were not our favourite with yet another Sou’Sou’Easterly. The wind speed was 13 to 17 Km/Hr with gusts to 32, (7 to 9 Knots, gusts to 17). Apart from the wind which had many lulls, it was a nice day with a patchy overcast and…

I must pay credit to “Accuweather” for the forecast and conditions today. Its mention of rain was spot on to commence at 3pm as we planned to finish. The wind was mainly from the South East at 7 to 10 Km/Hr, gusting to 22, (4 to 6, gusts to 12 Knots) and a pleasant 26oC…

We had great conditions for our scratch racing today. The forecast Easterly had quite a bit of North in it. The windspeed ranged from 13 to 23 Km/Hr., with the occasional gust to 33, (7 to 13 Knots , gusts to 17). The temperature was quite hot beforehand but settled around 25oC for our racing.…
