PDSC opened on Saturday 15th October 2011, the Sabres were one of the biggest fleets and 4  brand new Sabres were christened with champagne by the PDSC Lady Patron. Fantastic hot weather, but not so great for sailing when the wind dropped out. 

Lea Foster from Queensland joined the WA guys once again to take part in the race.

A couple of photos taken on the day are below.
