Huge congratulations to Miles and Mason Burrage sailing their 49er Big Bear to victory today in the Hobday Anniversary Trophy.
these two guys have impressed us all with the dedication to diet and fitness that has enabled them to master the skills at the highest technical & team sailing level which is the Olympic 49er.
I think it is now time to take your father Terry for a spin round the bay!
great sailing guys,
Peter

Hi Everyone
The annual TBYC Summer Ball is fast approaching on June 4th and I am looking for some willing and budding volunteers to help set up the balcony awning, matting and tables on the evening of June 3rd (Friday). Also if anyone is available for a hour or so during the day of June 4th to help move the dance floor carpet and tables about that would be fantastic.
All help greatly received and appreciated!
For one day only the main bar and balcony will be closed on June 4th for the ball. The Commodores bar will be open and Gary will be open with a limited menu during that day.
If anyone is available to help on either Friday or Saturday please can you let me know.
Many thanks in advance!!

There i was on the Committee boat yesterday having successfully got the 3 starts away with the help of Tony and Darren when the time came available with shifting falling breeze on round one to observe all that goes on at TBYC. Now we all know its a busy place on the sailing front, about 40 race starters yesterday + Feva Race Training + Stage 1 Sail Training. so approx 60 boats on the water and what drives all this? the great TBYC volunteer which quite remarkably totalled over 20 great individuals yesterday who are all keen sailing people giving up their water time to teach, train, rescue cover and race officiate. In a seemingly selfish world we seem to have cornered a huge amount of selfless peoples here at TBYC for which we are very lucky.
that was just a waterfront observation, with behind the scenes weekday work by Committee’s from sailing to social totalling another 20-30 guys and girls, makes you feel very proud to be part of it,
Peter
