We have a few DS-1's and a DS-2 at our yacht club on the Toms River in New Jersey. The club hosts a PHRF/Porstsmouth series which is 5 dates spread out over the Summer. We race non-spinaker in the interest of making the racing less intimidating and more inviting to newcomers.
Messin' about in the DS's is also fun here at the "Jersey Shore". Fall is my favorite time for that as there are far fewer power boats.
