Including Slipway Clean, Displacement support boats pressure washed, Committee Boat sanded/prepared plus the inside of hulls were cleaned out prior to repair by some willing Cadets. Clubhouse & kitchen repair tasks were also completed. Thanks to those who also did the running around procuring last minute tools / supplies.

Hi all, just a quick follow up from our commodore’s welcome post to honer our new world champion!!!

During all the excitement of these type of events it is easy to forget the tremendously high level of sailing required to compete. Having competed in many world championships in my life I think it is fair to say on both ability level and psychological level, such events are like your best club trophy race x 10.

With this in mind I would personally like to congratulate Ronny the “Rocket” Barns for his achievements as Sam Husk quite elequently put it “Mixing it up at World Level”

Well done Ronny I am sure you would have liked a better result. I also know you are very capable sailor, as your pre-worlds results proved. I look forward to your account of the experience in the Bar back at sweet old TBYC!!!
