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
