While Brett Beyer may be DBSC’s esteemed SuperCoach, there are some things he can’t do – like control the weather… As BBSP subscribers are aware, our last Club Championship races were abandoned owing to a lack of wind. Brett, who made the trip down on the day, was unable to provide the BBSP as there was no racing. He has kindly offered to refund subscribers. If you would like to request a refund, can you please EMAIL your bank details to Andrew Cox.

James Mitchell (Laser 214414) is planning to come from Melbourne to Double Bay for the ILCA anniversary event (30 May). He will be travelling in a VW Transporter RV and is looking to park outside someone’s house with access to bathroom facilities for 2-3 nights and willing to pay for this. Is there someone nearby the club that can help James? If so, can you please EMAIL Emily Ball to connect with James.

How the club has changed! Jim Ley, a founding member of DBSC tells us, “The club became a social mecca for kids from Double Bay and adjoining suburbs. It was a meeting place where teenagers gathered to work on their boats and socialise. The club took on its role as a venue to foster social events such as club dances and so on, it became a popular meeting place for kids in the area. The club at one time had a football team.” It is interesting to speculate on the team and positions for the 2021 season – Andrew Cox or Pat Levy at halfback?

You may not think that the DBSC clubhouse is an architectural masterpiece however, in 2009 the National Trust decided that the clubhouse should be added to the list of historic structures in Australia. The National Trust sought to recognise the enthusiasm and commitment of the sailing club’s membership and their continued contribution to community life. A sailing club is heritage at its most active.
