This week we find out who the grinners are in the Jane Brook Wines Midweek Spring Series. Current leaders are not home and hosed yet and must turn up in order to maintain their positions particularly in Division 3 with only 1 point separating 1st and 2nd position with no more drops to come.
Saturday Series finished last weekend for this side of the season. This Saturday it’s an all in pursuit race in memory of the Club’s very first Commodore, Frank Sampson. It’s a Box start and finish and individual boat start times will be available from the webpage on Thursday.

EVENTS
TWILIGHT SERIES
Experience racing into the sunset and finishing under a brilliant summer moon that only the Twilight Series can offer. If you’re lucky you may even catch the ISS streak overhead. Twilights have been designed with short courses to keep boats relatively close to the Club and being jib and main only boats are not so dependant on skilled crew required for spinnaker work, keeping in line with the more relaxed style of racing Twilights are known for.

SATURDAY SERIES
If you’re looking for maximum speed, then the Saturday Series can provide. This is the day where boats require all hands on deck to handle the fast downwind runs experienced when the Freo Doctor’s strong summer sea breezes kick in and colourful ballooning spinnakers fill the river.

The final Notice of Race is now available via the link below and entries are now coming in. Make sure you get your entries in by Friday 18 December 2020.
Volunteers:
If you have some spare time and can offer some assistance either on shore or on water, please use the button below to register yourself as a volunteer.
MARATHON RACES

REMOTE CONTROL YACHT RACING
There is a regular group of Members who meet each Friday afternoon at 3pm on the Western Hardstand for a couple of hours of intense racing and camaraderie.
Visitors are warmly welcomed to sit and watch or even give it a go. You only need to ask.
To register your DF95 yacht for racing, simply use the entry button below and select the Singlehanded classes section.
EQUIPMENT AUDIT FORMS
Skippers, please note that your Equipment Audit Forms have now expired as of June 30. To be eligible to compete in the new season starting from Opening Day on Oct 4, a new Equipment Form must be submitted online. Most, if not all Skippers have had their previous Audit form submitted online via YachtSafe already, so it should be relatively easy to resubmit a new form in time for your first race of the new season and the good news is that you can view your previous form in Past Audits on your YachtSafe dashboard.
YACHT TRACKERS
The ability to replay club fleet races is now available. Try the free Yacht Bot tracking software yourself. It can be downloaded and installed on your smartphone or tablet via an App. If you interested and don’t mind taking your electronic device with you on the water, please let us know. Past races can be viewed using the button below.
