A warm day found 8 sailors facing a light breeze from the South, which freshened as the clouds disappeared.
Joe had the burners on taking 4 firsts. The rest of fleet swapped positions in chorus. Boat issues forced Roger to withdraw, but made a valiant effort to stay in the game. Thanks to JoAnn Sullivan for scorekeeping and Carl Schweizer for line duties.

| Eight sailors were on hand to face the forecasted 15mph winds. Not sure the gusts got that high but the fickle effect of the wind coming over the trees created an extremely challenging day. Fleet Captain Jeff created a challenging course. Bob Brown, Rich and Roger boats succumbed to the wild gusts and retired. This old man persevered and took the day with Joe and Barney on his heels. That was the last of the scored raced for the 2025 season, and certainly fun sailing. |
The DF95 Regatta Nov. 15th was not held due to a lack of wind and has been rescheduled to Nov. 29th 2025.
Six sailors struggled with light and variable breezes from the South in the last contest of the DF65’s racing for the club championship.
Bob Brown won the day with excellent reading of wind shifts with Ken Feldbush on his transom. Jeff Trescot and Larry Gordon had their moments.
DF95’s will finish the season next Saturday, November 29th.
The annual club meeting is on Saturday, December 6th, and the awards luncheon at the Olive Garden in the Port Orange Pavilion on Saturday, December 13th.
