Gale Force Sailing

Gale Force Sailing I will be speaking to the Daingerfield Island Sailing Club (DISC) about the new rules.

DISC is comprised of sailors from the greater Washington, DC area who enjoy racing, day sailing and cruising on the upper Potomac River.

DISC members include both boat owners and crew. Most boats sail out of the Washington Sailing Mar...ina (Alexandria, VA), Buzzard's Point Marina (Washington, DC) or Bolling Airforce Base.

The DISC sailing calendar includes weekend racing in the spring and fall and a Tuesday evening summer series. Racing is divided into spinnaker and non-spinnaker fleets and involves racers of all skill levels. A number of DISC members participate in downriver racing events hosted by the Mt. Vernon and Quantico Yacht Clubs, as well as major regattas on the Chesapeake Bay, such as Annapolis Race Week, Screwpile Regatta and the National Off-Shore One Design Regatta (NOOD) in Annapolis.
