Subscription and fees invoices for 2012 are going to be sent to members this week.
If you are intending to pay by standing order we would be pleased if you could return the completed form to the Club by the end of January at the latest. We realize this does not give you much time, and apologize for this, but would be grateful for your co-operation.

Why Not You ?
Why should the kids and your partner have all the fun? Are you chauffer and cheerleader but stuck on shore and sometimes bored? Do you sometimes stare with envy at the powered boats chasing the sailing boats around, or people aboard our luxury Committee Boat?
Just because you do not want to go sailing, does not mean you cannot be part of club sailing activities, so why not get out there amongst your children and partners?
Many club members are only here for the social side, and that’s great. Hundreds are cadets, and that’s fantastic. Hundreds race, and that’s brilliant. Some only sail casually on a nice day, and that’s terrific. Others want or have to support their family, which is fine as well. Continue Reading »

FROZEN SHEETS OPEN MEETING 27 DECEMBER 2011
The Race Committee announce that the previously published results were calculated in error not in accordance with the Racing Rules of Sailing and the Sailing Instructions. The error is now remedied with the publication of correct results.
Background
The Sailing Instructions state the following:
1. Unless the number of rounds was signalled in advance then after an appropriate sailing time has elapsed International Code Flag S would be displayed and boats would be finished when they next passed through the finish line.
2. Scoring would be calculated on the basis of average lap times.
3. Results would be calculated on the basis of average lap times.
After International Code Flag S had been raised, boats were finished, and the times recorded, as they next passed the finishing line. In calculating the published results the time of raising Code Flag S was reduced by a few minutes compared with the actual time of raising the flag which resulted in the last lap of 5 boats being excluded when calculating the corrected times. This was undertaken in order to make an adjustment because two classes of boat with the same PN (49er and 29er) had each been split at the time of raising the flag.
This has been reviewed. This method of adjustment of average lap times has not been used previously by the organising authority and is not part of suggested practice by the RYA, and is not therefore in accordance with the Rules or Sailing Instructions. The published results were incorrect and have now been amended.

Hi All, for all you armchair sailors, and following popular demand I am sponsoring a trophy for the best placed TBYC virtual boat in the game. For those of you who have not entered or who do not know about it, then here are a few facts. The virtual race mirrors the actual Volvo ocean race covering 8 legs over 9 months. The game has in excess of 120000 virtual boats. leg 1 is complete but we will run each leg as a race in a series and load the entrants on Hal’s racing programme as a series. The series will have 2 discards for the 8 legs to enable newcomers to join in and possibly win!!!. After the first leg the top five TBYC boats were 1st Daren Fitchew, 2nd Jeremy Sandford, 3rd Steve Healey, 4th Steve Hopper and 5th David Hopper.
The next leg starts on Sunday 11th Dec 2011 so get registered and join in the banter and fun!!!
You can register at http://www.volvooceanracegame.org/play
Then please leave a comment on this article so we can enter you and your boat in the regatta.
Happy armchair sailing Steve Hopper

vertical ones that is. I’ve received a call from one of the Club’s neighbours asking whether we can stop the cowbell noise coming from the boatpark. Please, please would everyone park halyards away from masts.
