Description:
Welcome to the DBMS Adult Sailing Racing program! The goal of this program is to connect sailors of all levels and engage them in light-hearted and friendly racing out on Duxbury Bay. The DBMS Adult racing program is not a typical race program! Our program makes it easy and fun for adults to race sailboats on Duxbury Bay in a casual, teaching environment. Experienced and novice sailors are both welcomed. Our goal and hope is that the experienced sailors share their knowledge and passion with the newest sailors. Once the season gets underway, races take place on Saturdays and Sundays, using our fleet of Flying Scots. Race times vary with the tide. The typical race days are 3+ hours, from shore to shore. However, if we have tide and the wind is good, it is not uncommon for a vote to be cast in favor of getting another race in. Details Teams vary each week, are worked up on race day, and will be a mix of experienced and new-to-sailing Racers We will rotate boats so that one skipper doesn’t use the same boat back to back We prioritize Saturday as Race Day. However due to tide timings some Sunday racing is planned in 2024. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we will either make up the day or add a race to the next few sails If we have a larger group of people, we will anchor up a spectator boat and make personnel changes on the water Race 1 8/24/24 Saturday; High Tide 15:42; Pre-Race Meeeting 12:15; 1st Gun 13:00 Race 1 Rain Date 8/25/24 Sunday; High Tide 16:36; Pre-Race Meeting 13:00; 1st Gun 13:45 Race 2 8/31/24 Saturday; High Tide 10:26; Pre-Race Meeeting 8:30; 1st Gun 9:15 Race 2 Rain Date 9/1/24 Sunday; High Tide 11:32; Pre-Race Meeting 8:30; 1st Gun 9:15 Race 3 9/7/24 Saturday; High Tide 14:47; Pre-Race Meeeting 12:15; 1st Gun 13:00 Race 3 Rain Date 9/8/24 Sunday; High Tide 15:26; Pre-Race Meeting 12:15; 1st Gun 13:00 Race 4 9/14/24 Saturday; High Tide 8:34; Pre-Race Meeeting 7:30; 1st Gun 8:15 Race 4 Rain Date 9/15/24 Sunday; High Tide 9:29; Pre-Race Meeting 8:15; 1st Gun 9:00 Race 5 9/21/24 Saturday; High Tide 14:24; Pre-Race Meeeting 11:30; 1st Gun 12:15 Race 5 Rain Date 9/22/24 Sunday; High Tide 15:15; Pre-Race Meeting 12:00; 1st Gun 12:45 Race 6 9/28/24 Saturday; High Tide 9:11; Pre-Race Meeeting 8:00; 1st Gun 8:45 Race 6 Rain Date 9/29/24 Sunday; High Tide 10:01; Pre-Race Meeting 8:30; 1st Gun 9:15 Additional Rain Date 10/5/24 Saturday; High Tide 13:35; Pre-Race Meeting 11:30; 1st Gun 12:15 Additional Rain Date 10/6/24 Sunday; High Tide 14:11; Pre-Race Meeting 11:30; 1st Gun 12:15
