The Dunedin Boat Club is supporting the Windlasses and DYSA Twilight Races on Fridays in May.

Carol Elwood has already volunteered her boat to serve as the Signal Boat each week.

We are still in need of a small powerboat to assist with race operations. The responsibilities will include setting the race marks under the direction of the Professional Race Officer, slowly cruising the course during the races, and retrieving the marks at the conclusion of racing before returning them to the storage area.

Each mark boat will need two volunteers to assist with handling the marks while the boat owner operates the vessel.

The races are open to Windlasses, DYSA, and anyone with a Sunfish or 420. For DBC members, the usage fee for a 420 will be waived

Book Club Meeting on June 10, 2026 (06/10/2026)

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Our host is Sharon Williams.

Our book is "Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession and Shipwreck," by Sophie Elmhirst.

Maurice and Maralyn make an odd couple. He’s a loner, awkward and obsessive; she’s charismatic and ambitious. But they share a fear of wasting their lives, and they dream of running away from it all. What if they quit their jobs, sold their house, bought a boat, and sailed away?

In June 1972, Maurice and Maralyn set sail. For nearly a year all went well, until deep in the Pacific, a breaching whale knocked a hole in their boat and it sank beneath the waves. What ensues is a jaw-dropping fight to survive in the wild ocean with little hope of rescue. Alone together for months in a tiny rubber raft, starving and exhausted, Maurice and Maralyn have to find not only ways to stay alive but ways to get along, as their inner demons emerge and their marriage is put to the greatest of tests. Although they could run away from the world, they can’t run away from themselves.

Book Club Meeting on July 8, 2026 (07/08/2026)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Our host is TBD.

Our book is "The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot: A Novel," by Marianne Cronin.

Seventeen-year-old Lenni Pettersson lives on the Terminal Ward at the Glasgow Princess Royal Hospital. Though she has been told she’s dying, she still has plenty of living to do. Joining the hospital’s arts and crafts class, she meets the magnificent Margot, an 83-year-old, purple-pajama-wearing, fruitcake-eating rebel, who transforms Lenni in ways she never imagined.

As their friendship blooms, a world of stories opens for these unlikely companions who, between them, have been alive for one hundred years. Though their days are dwindling, both are determined to leave their mark on the world. With the help of Lenni’s doting palliative care nurse and Father Arthur, the hospital’s patient chaplain, Lenni and Margot devise a plan to create one hundred paintings showcasing the stories of the century they have lived—stories of love and loss, of courage and kindness, of unexpected tenderness and pure joy. Though the end is near, life isn’t quite done with these unforgettable women just yet.
