Dear DUC and DSBC Members
Thank you for your support of the club over the festive season. After the COVID induced disruptions of the past years it was good to see the club “buzzing” again with member activity.
The club now reverts to being closed on Mondays and Tuesdays until the next holiday period as members return to work and education. Please find current club hours attached.

As the Festival takes place over a holiday long weekend, we recommend booking accommodation now as these modern apartments are popular with holidaymakers.

Feedback on NSRI Fundraising Fishing Competition
Last month a social, fundraising fishing competition was hosted by the Durban Ski Boat which was a great success and R12 000 was raised for the National Sea Rescue Institute by anglers who supported the event.
The NSRI are our club neighbours and very welcome friends. As if to emphasis the point, a non-club boat that had launched from Ballitto, ran into trouble on the day of the comp and was towed to safety at our club launch site at Vetchs by the NSRI.
Please see the attachment for more information on what the NSRI does for all water sport users.
Feedback on Surf Ski Record attempt
PWC members, Brett Hadairis and Quinton Rutherford were successful in breaking the world record for the furthest distance in a double surf ski in a 24hr period on Monday 10th of January.
The NSRI were again on hand to escort the pair from Ballitto to base as darkness enveloped them and a sizable group of members were on hand to greet them on their arrival about 8pm. Brett and Quinton seemed remarkably fresh and chirpy after such a gruelling 220km paddle from St Lucia to the club.
The lucky draw of the raffle tickets for the R35000 double carbon Fenn elite will take place on Thursday 13th of January at the PWC after the Geriatski dice. Non-members who would like to attend the dice and draw will be able to park within the club grounds on Thursday evening.
A correction to our original communications about this event in that Elrigh Grace is the father of Farren. Our apologies for the error.
Beach Clean Up Saturday 15th January
Despite media reports, the uShaka and Vetchs beaches have remained open during the beach closures over the last two weeks. However, the debris washed out through the rivers and harbour mouths during the rains means that our club beach is need of TLC.
Please consider joining Billie-Jean and her crew on Saturday 15th January for the beach clean up. See attachment for details.
