We have two sessions of Race Training for 11+ year old Cadets with basic to more advanced sailing skills this week.

The weather is perfect for Sunday’s session. Why not combine Father’s Day with a trip to the Yacht Club. What better place to be!

  • Friday, June 16th 19.30 On-Shore session in the sail training room.
  • Sunday, June 18th 15.30 briefing, On-the-water session at 16.00.  (Change into wetsuits before 15.30)

The training will include Sail trim, stopping and starting, maybe even going backwards and of course, ‘Starts’. We will finish with a race or two!

Wow, What a Fast cat weekend!

Published by under Bilge

A BIG! Thank-you from the fast cats and myself, for all the help this weekend. Yes, the A-class fleet didn’t get out to race due to the high winds but we were still out on the water in other forms. A big thank-you to Howard & Robin and the girls, for looking after the race officer bit, To the Rib owners, Lewis, Martin and Michael plus crews, who did a fantastic job laying marks and saving sailors etc. To Paul and Pete on SS3 who helped save a runaway Tornado from doing too much damage on Saturday. Thanks goes without saying to Paul, Donna and the bar staff team for keeping spirits up. To Dave and the kitchen crew for the weekend service and our lovely club secretary Janet, who kept it all on track. Thanks again to Graham Dare for dealing with the council car parking and to Michael & Howard, who put all the race results together really quickly. It’s amazing what a team club effort can do.

TBYC Cadet Team Racing Squad at the British School’s Championships

Published by under Cadets

Our TBYC Cadet Team Racing Squad emerged bruised and battered after a grueling British Schools Championships at Maidenhead Sailing Club on Saturday. The event, which attracts the largest number of schools in the BSDRA calendar, completed against each other to take the title.

Our boys, who were the youngest at the event by far, had to compete against teams many years older. However, with determination, our tough squad of Thorpe Bay sailors battled the high winds, made some excellent starts, didn’t hold back on the protests and gave their very best. As the gusts reached 31 mph and in Fireflies, capsizes where swiftly recovered and as a team, the opposition were in for a challenging time. The umpire’s decisions seemed to go against us at times, but with a stiff upper lip, they battled on to take second place in the ‘Plate’ after winning two races in a row.  Winchester College won overall.

Don’t be fooled by appearances, they are ruthless on the water.  Well done boys!
