Great weather, warmth, sun and good winds ensured an enjoyable weekend sailing for all competitors at the Dovestone Open Meeting, the final event in the Northern Travellers Series.
5 Races were programmed for the weekend. On Saturday the northerly breeze provided challenging beats for the length of the reservoir and good long return runs.
The club volunteers provided a mouth-watering array of culinary delights all weekend. On the Saturday night we had a party with a great meal including a tagine with all the trimmings. This was followed by the 'World Ice Cube Curling Championships'. 7 teams fought out a spectacular competition that was eventually won by the scratch team "Happy Quimpers", a team of DSC supporters at the recent FF Euro's in Morgat.
Sunday dawned with more sun and more butties. The wind had shifted to the west and a new course was set that included two beats and 2 offwind spinnaker legs.
After a delicious lunch time spread of Fajitas and loaded nachos, the Open and Travellers series prizes were awarded.
