Cadet week is fast approaching. Thanks to our sponsors for their continued support

It is with regret that we inform you of the passing of our long-standing members Michael Parkes and Peter Thomas, both will be sadly missed at the Club.

TBYC Kitchen and Bar team are pleased to advise members of a new monthly themed food evening, sampling culinary cuisines from around the world. More information coming soon…

Morning Sailors,

Conditions permitting, today’s scheduled race is the Yantlet Trophy.

The course will be set by the Race officer and drawn on the blackboard at the top of the slipway.

Rounding the Yantlet Beacon will be replace with an orange cylindrical “special” buoy to port, as it has been in recent previous editions of the race.

I wanted to draw your attention to the Sailing instructions: 7. Classes or Fleets. Here it states that for a mass start we will use flag R, and that for the Nore Race and Benfleet Shield, the Windward Leeward Class will start as published + 30 mins. This year the start is scheduled for 13.00, making the W/L class start 13.30.

Hang on to your hats!

Thank you to Phil Crawford who has taken the time to review this years sailing instructions. Phil suggest some amendments for clarity and consistency of the SIs that control how we run our club racing at TBYC.

His suggestions and the existing SIs were discussed by your Sailing Committee and the appropriate amendments made. The new SIs are now on the Website, please take the time to read them before you race, Race officer or assist with any aspect of club racing.
