Orford Radio Sailing Group (ORSG) – DF65 Racing

[Tiles]

The Orford Radio Sailing Group (ORSG) races DF65’s on ‘The Pond’ each Friday (weather permitting) throughout the year.

Our normal times are button press for the first race at 11.00am with no races commencing after 1.00pm. The gate is normally open from 10.15am.

The first Friday of each month is put aside for training and assistance with tuning of boats along with some informal scratch racing. All other Fridays will be handicap events with handicaps of 15 seconds for first place, 10 seconds for second place and 5 seconds for third place. In the first race all boats will start on scratch with any handicaps accrued being cumulative throughout the day. We aim to sail 10 handicap races on each day.

The Group is open for anyone to join – all we require is that you are a current registered member of RC Toys.

There are no launching facilities at the Pond and it is advised that those coming to sail bring gumboots.

Access to the Pond is from Louisville Road between Orford and Triabunna – see the map attached for details.

Nice intro Tiles 👍

Just a thought, maybe we should consider a PDV vs ORSG challenge twice a year with a BBQ afterwards ? Let’s discuss eh ?
