Hello Fellow FF Sailors
It’s time to pull back the covers on your precious boats and get to those repairs and tweaks started that you planned to do over Winter…

Well guess what? Spring has sprung and the new sailing season is about to begin. We have an action packed calendar ahead of us including our club racing and trophy events, Ossie Mac regatta at Mornington and not to be outdone DBYC are hosting the 2015 FF State Titles.

As a warm up to the season opening a few local boats are heading to Canberra for the ACT State Titles next weekend. This has proven to be a great event serviced by the very hospitable Canberra Yacht Club. It is also home to our national champions who are sure to teach us a little and flog us a lot. Welcome to the new season, Cam F³C flying fifteen fleet captain
