It’s not every day that a whale can step in and stop a race in its tracks?
If you haven’t already watched the San Francisco Sail GP racing over the weekend it is worth having a look.
Also consider all three of the skippers in the final million dollar race are Australian … two coming out out of pedigree dinghy racing!

Season Training, Storage and Lease Fees
Please be aware there are a number of outstanding payments which we need to reconcile, we will be contacting individuals to clear up dinghy storage, leasing and summer season training fees.
In a number of cases it maybe the club has not provided notice re payments, apologies but we do need to clear up payments.
Note the summer training fee of $280.00 for all sailors participating in any training from October 2021 to April 2022. This equates to $40/month.
We would like to acknowledge those who have already paid their fee and thank them for their cooperation.
Season Training, Storage and Lease Fees

b. photos will culled/ archived by the Dinghy Committee every six months. In addition good photos will be used in the bi-annual production of the FSC Blue Water Bulletin, used internally and externally to the club.

Our Dinghy Committee is made up of volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the Club’s Dinghy Section runs smoothly.
We have developed an Organisation Chart to ensure that our sailors and their parents are aware of who our committee members are, and what their roles entail.
