Today, I volunteered for a Race Clinic at the Downtown Sailing Center, where more experienced tace skippers and crew were paired up with new or less experienced racers. I had Hank (regular crew on my race team) and Betty (new DSC race skipper) on my boat. Winds were 10-15 mph, so there was great wind. Overall we did relatively well i the practice races, with each of us taking turns at the helm. However, there was an incident in one race where three boats collided. In this case, the port-tack boat (a J/22) collided with a starboard-tack boat (Sonar 23), and somehow another boat got involved in the mix. Unfortunately, the same skipper who had collided with us in June was also involved in this incident. The damage to two of the boats is significant enough that they cannot be sailed and are awaiting repairs. The DSC has also changed its policy so that members can no longer reserve Sonars or use them for racing. This is the first time in my 22 years at the DSC that such a policy has been put in place. This has been a bad year for boat damage at the DSC. :(
