SATURDAY MORNING WORK PARTY

Published by under Bilge

Calling all Members

I would really appreciate your help cleaning the slipway this saturday morning(17th July) start time is 9.30am.
The more helpers the quicker it can get finished well before sailing at 3.00 and the less my back will hurt if i’m the only one 😉

We’ve hired a pressure washer and will have some scrappers and brushes but if you have a broom/brush please do bring it with you.

Please do come if your free and able, i know its hard work but the more of us there the easier it will be.
A BIG BIG THANK YOU in advance for all of you that come and help.

The Commodores Bar will be used as a soft drinks bar during Cadet week allowing children to buy their favorite drinks and snacks.

Lets all hope for good weather.

Cadet / Lark Open

Published by under Racing

Thorpe Bay Yacht Club succeeds again….. in holding another great open meeting. This time for a new fleet not seen at TBYC – the Larks and an old fleet resurrected with the Cadets.

21 Larks and 14 Cadets took part in the 6 race series open, superbly run by Alan Willis and his team: Sally, Linda, Lisa, Bev and Alix. We had superb weather and a great breeze which made for some fantastic close racing. I think all who saw them sailing, were very impressed with the Lark.

The Cadet event was won by Max and Francesca Ingall with an impressive (near) clean sweep! We wish them luck in Poland where they will be representing GBR in the World Team!

The Lark event was won by Steve Hall and Si Haigton from Northampton Sailing Club with 11 points.

I have to own up to forgetting to thank 2 other people who helped out at the weekend. Steve Hopper was out with his rib both days to help with rescue cover and was able to take some great photos of the sailing – thanks Steve. But also to Chris Boshier – who not only gave up his weekend’s sailing to sit on the beech as our “Beech-master” but worked with myself and Alan to prepare all the relevant paperwork for the event and entering the results – Thanks very much Chris!

Dan Henderson Musto Skiff Nationals Junior Champion 2010

Published by under Nationals,Racing

Dan Henderson has just completed a very impressive nationals campaign in the Musto Skiff fleet at Hayling Island, with 74 entrants Dan finished 6th and first junior under 21 in this very competitive and technically demanding class of high performance single handed asymetric trapeze boat.
if you think you can sail then try one of these, just to get one to turn a corner is a great achievement having done a little bit of swimming alongside one on the odd occasion!
well done Dan

If anyone is feeling bored at work its well worth a look I’m sure my dad will be watching intently shouting and the screen when we don’t tack on a shift!
