After what can only be described as Steve’s Crazy Golf. Three teams braved the highly modified course. (I think that if it was sailing we would have used the C flag, S flag and Y flag – particularly Dean ha ha)
As all will know it was just a little windy (50mph) and there was a little occasional water, not to mention the bait diggers holes!
The Scores
Runners and riders:
The Commodores Team wins with The Commodore as top scoring round “Kel Surpreez”
The Ladies Title goes to Sophie Stanford
The Cadet Title goes to Sophie Stanford
Longest Drive Goes to Will (The Ringer) on Dean’s Team
The Joker was played by Dean who fell over in the occasional water after finding a particularly deep bait diggers hole and lost his Crock’s Ha Ha
Thanks to all the teams and players who braved the day.
I look forward to a rematch next year hopefully with a little less wind and lot more sunshine

Following a very successful Cadet Week we now have members wanting to buy Picos and Teras.
Can members with boats currently for sale please detail them here so we can match buyer to seller.
It would be great to get more boats sailing within the club.
Thanks

Cadet Sail Training and Racing this Sunday 11th August.
Briefing; changed and rigged in the Sail Training Room at 8.30am, on the water at 9.00am.
This session is aimed at all abilities and will help our young sailors make progress with their sailing, racing and boost their confidence on the water.
Participating Cadets should be able to beat, reach and run, at least at a basic level, and be able to sail to and from the training area.
We will be thinking about the RULES and sailing a ISAF S-shaped course.
Coach: Nick

TBYC Endeavour Trophy – 2019
Commodore, Steve Hopper suggested that we invite all last year’s class winners to sail in the Sandhopper against our National Champions. Little did he think I’d take him at his word! We did it. And what an event it was.
Poaching the name from the Royal Corinthian’s famous and highly prized Endeavour Trophy, we set about our own. Although after some discussion it was decided that this should be a perpetual trophy, sailed each year but for any class to offer the challenge and defend their honour against the top crews in the club. Next year we could be in Picos, Hurricanes, Lasers; whoever offers up the challenge first.
This inaugural year was ours. The Sandhopper. Eight very special owners offered up their boats to be used in the regatta which was a resounding success. Lots were drawn for who sailed which boat at the cadet week prize giving, with an invite going to the winners of the cadet week to take part. Of course, we had to handicap our National Champions and they gracefully accepted to sail Primo – our class boat kindly sponsored by Primo Insurance. She’s very overweight with old sails, ropes and spars and most of the anti-fouling missing of her hull.
Here’s how the day went…..
