Dene and Andrea at our recent AGP

With much sadness, DBSC acknowledges the passing of Dene Bergman. Following a battle with cancer, Dene passed away peacefully on Tuesday June 16th.Dene had been a stalwart of our club from the early 80’s. Backed by his avionics engineering career, Dene was the master of response boats, radio communications, and general maintenance at our club. Dene had a wonderful sense of humour. So obsessed with keeping our premises in order, he produced many wonderful cartoons and signs around our club, which you can see. Like so many great volunteers at DBSC, Dene was always the first to volunteer and never sought recognition for his contributions.Many of us had the privilege

Winter Championship / Point Score Races 16, 17 & 18

Chris Tattersall reports:I have to admit that it didn’t look promising when dawn broke on Sunday morning. There was not a breath of wind at the club and the wind readings from the harbour were not much more encouraging. And no sun to lift spirits. However, as you do, we put the flags up, dutifully launch the Paul Adam, loaded her up with marks and the rest of the kit and motored out have a look-see. There was a slight breeze coming from the nor’-nor’-west, so we dropped a leeward mark at the mouth of Double Bay and returned to the club and

Winter Championship / Point Score Races 13, 14 & 15Steven London Reported:It was a glorious morning for 33 Lasers on the last day of Autumn. The sun shone brightly and the Harbour sparkled with a steady 8-10 knot Westerly building to 15 knots at times toward the end of race 15. It was short from racing at its best, where any advantage at the start followed by speedy mark rounding led to victory for a few, with tight racing in compressed fleets merging at times producing some tightly contested matches between rivals.Winter Championship Results:ILCA 4, Race 13, 14, 15:Harper Spacey excelled! achieving a picket fence 1sts across the line in all 3 races.with Hiro

Winter Championship / Point Score Races 10, 11 & 12It was looking like a highly dicey proposition for the fleet last Sunday morning. Early forecasts and glass-out conditions threatened to keep the fleet ashore, but the weather gods ultimately cooperated to deliver a window of highly competitive racing.Against the odds, a gentle 4 to 8 knot westerly filled in across the harbour just in time for the morning session. The Race Committee took full advantage of the breeze, quickly rattling through Races 10, 11, and 12 of the Winter Championship and Point Score. Sailors enjoyed clean, tactical racing in the light air, getting three solid scorelines locked away before the morning breeze

Double Bay Fleet Battles Through Harbour Drift-OffMore than 35 Laser sailors turned out at Double Bay Sailing Club on Sunday morning for a difficult and at times frustrating day of racing on Sydney Harbour. Sailors arrived to overcast skies and low cloud hanging across the harbour following overnight rain, while race officials headed out early were met with glassed-out conditions on the course area. It did not look promising.Despite the lack of breeze, the large fleet launched enthusiastically, hoping the forecast would eventually deliver enough pressure for racing. After a bit of juggling
