We currently do not roster a class to help out with the launching, retrieval and washing of the safety boats. Instead, we would encourage all members to help with what they can, when they can with the safety boats, and people may be requested to assist with race organisation.
Social Events will be held throughout the season and will be publicised on the Club notice board and PRSC Facebook. Presentations will be held after sailing and the safety boats are in the shed.
Club BBQ facilities will be available each week after Sailing for members use.
Sailing Program October 2024 to September 2025
Notes for Club Program
Note 1: PRSC Opening Day Regatta and Dinner
Opening of the sailing season by an official guest. Sailors then salute the Commodore on the water during a short race.
Members are asked to bring a plate for afternoon tea for official guests and spectators. Normally dinner will be provided for a nominal charge.
See also PRSC Sailing Instructions 18c1 (Special Races).
Note 2: Short Course Racing
Several days in the Season have been set aside for short course racing. As the name implies the races are held over short triangular courses set in front of the club house. Depending on the wind strength, there are 3 to 4 races held, each race lasting 15 to 30 minutes. The fleet is always closely bunched, which makes the racing interesting for spectators in the club house. For those racing, if a start was “blown”, or you end up on the wrong side of a wind shift, well, there is always the next race to get your tactics right.
Note 3: Tavern Series
This new series will be sailed in the waters off the Birkenhead Tavern, in the heart of Port Adelaide. The aim to make our sailing more visible to the general public and hopefully encourage anyone interested to come sail at our Club.
Note 4: Trophy Presentation The date and time of the end of season trophy presentation to be advised.
