This was the TBYC cruisers at Queenborough last year, 7 boats on one mooring! It would be great to replicate this next year with Sandhoppers. There are a number of weekends when we can leave at 10:30 (sh) wander (or race) over for lunch on the outgoing tide and come back on the incoming tide. Who fancies it? Maybe a trip or two further up the Medway as well? A sail up to Chatham Marina? Stay overnight in the hotel and come back the next day? All ideas welcomed …. [email protected]

To all Members,

I have now taken on the role as Co-ordinator between the Bar and the Kitchen for all private events that you wish to hold at the Club, eg. Parties, Wakes, Weddings, etc. The new form is available on the Events and Bar tab on the left hand side on the website under Membership or click here: https://www.tbyc.org/events/.

Just click on the TBYC Function Booking Form link and fill out all your details. When you have filled out the form I will then contact you to discuss your booking.

Please do not contact the Bar or Kitchen staff direct as this will cause confusion. Any problems, please contact me on the following email address: [email protected]
