It's Club Championship time with the pre-Christmas Harken Club Pennant, for Divisions 1 and 2 and the Beams Brothers, Club Championship for the dinghy fleets, commencing on Sunday.

Opening Day saw a great Div. 1 and 2 fleet with seventeen starters, we look set for a exciting Harken Pennant. We have changed the series format with a pre and post component to the series, with the over all prize for the combined results. Both Divisions will start at 13:00, with different courses sailed for each Division, to get all boats home around the same time. 

With a growing Division 1 fleet we have shifted  line between Div. 1 and 2 with the handicap 0.760 now the change point, please check the handicap list and sail the correct course for your division.

the Beams Brothers, Club Championship will see a growing the Sabot race fleet as the season rolls and training progresses. The District Dinghies will be a mixture NS14, lasers, Pacer and Byte on the water to contest another tight Club Championship. 

Note to all, remember your entry form, don't rush when filling it out, sail number, boat name full crew name and your full name! no info on the entry, no info on the results.

Big 70th PDYC season is coming, so get on the water and be part of it!
 
Racing tips we can offer for a new entrant, if you are starting out take the non-spinnaker option for your first season, a clean bottom is fast, don't be still on the pontoon at 10 minutes prior to the start. Give yourself time to get rigged and comfortable with your sail combination before the start. Keep track of the start time, don't end up at 'Z' mark, when the start sequence commences, get in hearing range of the hooter, to check your watch, understand the start signals, they are detailed in the Club program. 

Best tip, stay safe and have fun!
