Main Steel
If you are a fan of the DSC on Facebook you may have noticed a sneak peak photo post to the DSC status this week. This past weekend the J/22 and Sonar fleet moved into the Main Steel building - directly across from The Downtown Sailing Center.
 | | New indoor storage! |
While we do not have this space indefinitely, we should be able to use this space to complete more winter maintenance than ever before, making our fleet better prepared for the heavy use it will see this season.
There are some special needs that will help us make the most of the Main Steel facility. The most pressing need is electricity. While we are pursuing powering the building; that may not be feasible, and we are calling upon our readers to help us acquire generators and cordless tools. Please contact us if you can help.

Duck Pin Bowling Recap
A special thanks to everyone who braved the big breezes on Saturday and joined dozens of sailors at Patterson Bowling Center for the annual DSC duck pin bowling social!
With more than 2700 balls rolled, hundreds of pins smashed, more than 100 slices of pizza eaten, 94 cans of beer imbibed, and nearly 50 duck pin bowlers happy; the 2011 duck pin bowling event was a smash hit!
Special thanks goes to Linda Koehnlein (Events Committee Co-Chair), Jim Koehnlein and Erin Jones for their help in preparing for and running this event. With your help we were able to provide a fun event for DSC sailors and stay on budget. Jim even capped off the day with the lower deck's high score! Well done and thanks!
Next year's event (February 18, 2012) is already being planned. If you'd like to be a part of organizing this and other social events; Please contact Kristen Berry for more information. |

Racing
Nearly 20 Downtown Sailing Center racing skippers attended last week's Racing Skipper meeting. Announced at the meeting were updated racing policies and procedures, the racing calendar and much more. Members can find more information about the event at the racing forum of the members section of the website.
Also announced at the meeting were three major racing events being organized for DSC sailors. The first, the Annapolis NOOD Regatta (April 29, 30 and May 1) is an opportunity for Downtown Sailing Center teams to compete at this major Bay event. Also announced was the return of Sail for Kids and the expansion of the Ya'Gotta Regatta.
If you are interested in participating in any of these events, would like to volunteer or want more information, please contact Kristen Berry.
