Welcome

For all those members and families who are new to sailing, or just new to DSC, welcome to the club on behalf of the Flag officers, Committee members and other club members. We hope you will enjoy being a member of our club and take up as many opportunities as possible to join us both in the sailing and social events.

A number of things characterise DSC - its family atmosphere, the variety of sailing we do, its youth sailing, and its Optimist fleet among them. It is run entirely by volunteers and all members have to undertake duties during the year.

Cadet member's families are expected to do their club duties as well as helping the cadet fleet in some way, and are encouraged to join in the life of the club as a whole. Ideally we would like to see the adults join in the club races too...

CONGRATULATIONS to Martin Evans who finished second at the 38th Christmas Race in Palamos

Sun and an excellent SW Garbi wind, average 15 to 20 knots, provided excellent conditions for the medal races. All races could be sailed according to the schedule and the top ten competitors in each class enjoyed battling for victory on the last day of racing in Palamós.

Spanish sailor Rogel claimed the 2013 Gaes Christmas Race title in Laser Standard followed by British sailor Martin Evans and Spanish sailor Joaquín Blanco second and third overall.   

Website Technical stuff - New web hosting from 17 Dec 2013
Over the last few weeks the webmaster has been working away in a dark room and arranging for the hosting of the Dabchicks website to be moved on to new servers. In addition we have up-graded to a professional hosting package which gives great bandwidth and storage capacity for all those sailing photographs and information.  The webpages all look the same, but hopefully they will load faster, even when lots of people are browsing at the same time.

Sun, palm trees and beautiful blue waters, what a venue!

Martin Evans was competing as part of Team GBR at the Oman Laser Worlds 2013. Martin finish in 39th overall and 3rd Brit in the Gold Fleet, which enhanced his reputation as one of Britain foremost sailors in the Olympic class Laser.
