The Off Soundings Club was represented by Jay Spalding (Blue Moon) and his daughter, Lisa, and son, Evan, at the annual Dyer Dhow Derby hosted by the Mystic Seaport.
The Seaport has about fifty Dyer Dhows which are used for educating sailors. The boats are donated by various individuals and organizations, one which has been provided by the Off Soundings Club. The Seaport recognizes the donors every fall by inviting them to participate in a derby, which includes multiple races and a post-race party.
