John Dunne's boat sank on the starting line ... it was like the Titanic. Thanks to the great effort put in by Brad Gibson who spent 45 minutes in the dinghy trawling for it and eventually retrieved it and returning it to its rightful owner a little waterlogged some small crabs in the pod but basically intact. Brad did mention the words salvage rights, with little reaction from John. A big thanks to Brad for putting in a great effort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DSC Model Yacht Division Racing regularly, the team at Drummoyne Sailing Club Radio Yacht Division have just changed and the contacts are now: President: Ken Yates 0409 240 260 yatesmarine@ozemail.com.au Secretary Patrick O'Donnell 0401 892 097 patodd@bigpond.com.au Race Secretary Paul Ziems 0417 347 001 pziems@bigpond.com |
