Deric Smith has refurbished D1922 and relaunched the boat. it just goes to show that the Dabchick spirit will not be easily discarded. Well done deric we are sure that your family will have many hours of pleasure from this boat.
The changes to the class rules - as approved at last year’s AGM - can be downloaded here. The download only contains the relevant changes and should be read together with the original rules.
I’ll update the origional rules to include the changes as soon as possible - appologies for any inconvenience for the delay.
After 3 days in which we saw varying wind stregnths and some very cold conditions 8 races were completed at the Annual “sterkies” unofficial provincial. 11 Dabbies contested the regatta which I know was enjoyed by all. We welcomed Alexander Ham to the fleet and he really enjoyed himself. The top 3 places went down to the wire after being hotly contested by Tim Forson, Tim Gibbons and Gareth Baxter, the final places reflecting a point seperating the 3. Jessica Gibbons and Warren Hadley both put in a good showing making life difficult for the front runners.
