Please remember to ALWAYS bus your own dishes & glassware and clean up trash, especially at the end of the night. We have had too many instances of glasses left on tables, around the bar, and even outside on the downstairs patio. We do not want to risk broken glass around our clubhouse.


If the dirty dish bin is full, please inform our staff or bring the bin to the dishwasher and move one of the spare bins up from the bottom of the dish cart. If the cart is not available, simply place items on the counters outside the kitchen.


Our goal should be to leave our do-it-yourself club cleaner than we found it!

We are making adjustments to our staffing to better accommodate everyone. Although everyone is eager to share our new facilities with family and friends, please keep in mind Article 4, Item 4.3 of our Operating Procedures which states:
“Guest privileges for any individual guests are limited to a maximum of four days per year. Guests include children of a Membership 26 years of age or older and not a full-time student”. Also: “Guests must be in the company of a Membership who will assume full responsibility for their conduct and expenditures.”


Item 4.2 extends privileges to anyone participating in the DCYRA racing program, whether a member of DCLSA or not, for the following: skipper’s meetings, award ceremonies, official fleet meetings, protest hearings, restrooms, and docking between races.


If your guests and children enjoy their visits and are interested in sailing or learning to sail and supporting our sailing program, please encourage them to consider applying to join the club!]]><![CDATA[Beer Corner ... Pouring a Great Beer]]>Mon, 10 Jun 2024 15:11:47 GMThttps://www.dclsa-tn.com/news-and-updates/beer-corner-pouring-a-great-beerHelp keep our beer taps clean and sanitary! 

Never immerse the tap spigot in beer.

When you pour a beer at the taps:
  1. The glass should never touch the tap, and the faucet should never be in the beer.
  2. Place your glass 2-3” below the taps at a 45° angle so that the beer will fall and hit the side of the glass (do NOT rest the spigot against the glass)
  3. Open tap as rapidly as possible.
  4. When glass is almost full, rotate glass to be vertical and lower it slightly, so you get a 1-2” head of foam.
  5. Close tap rapidly.
  6. Enjoy!​

If you’re a visual learner, spend 45 seconds here -- Prost! with Peter.
​
Thank you -- we know this is 'un-learning' for many people, but it will help because we won't have to clean the taps as frequently, and the beer will taste better! If you have any questions, Kerry Diehl will be happy to answer.
