Congratulations TBYC we are now a certified training centre for both RYA Dinghy and Powerboat instruction.

Evening Sailors,

The Dinghy Park is rapidly filling up with only a couple of spaces left on the plan. Please dont buy a new boat before provisionally securing a place. There may not be room for it.

I have noticed a number of boats out of position, causing others to put theirs where they can. There is no sailing this weekend so look at the Dinghy Park Plan and please use the time to move you boat to its proper position if you can. If someone else’s boat is in its place, please talk to the owner or if you can see where it should be on the plan, move it for them.

Other people have informed me that they have always had a space but are not on the plan this year. If this applies to you, please tell me as soon as you can and include where your boat is located in the dinghy park.

If you and a friend have put boats in a different order than shown, please message me the actual position of your boats and I will update the plan.

A link to the plan can be digitally obtained from Janet or myself via email. I will publish the most up to date plan in the Clubhouse before the weekend.

Thank you

The RNLI Pursuit Race is this Sunday 13th June. Start times are as listed below and posted on the club noticeboard along with Supplementary SI’s.

If you have a boat / PN not listed and plan to sail please contact me ASAP with your boat class details at [email protected] – no later than midday Sat 12th June.

The Cadet Week registration form and information pack are being finalised and should be released by the end of the month! Please start thinking about coming down and getting out on the water to build skills, start finding partnerships and pairings in preparation for applications, build skills and friendships before the main event! 😄⛵️🏖

From tomorrow Monday 29th March the dinghy park, club slipway and toilets are open for all our members to use in line with current government rules on social distancing. The committee boat is planned to return on Wednesday ready for the start of a full sailing programme for the Easter weekend. The first half of the lift in will take place on Thursday 1st April. For those members who did not pay winter storage they may bring their dinghies back to the dinghy park from 2nd April.  A risk assessment for returning to sailing and 2021 sailing instructions will be posted and circulated.  Please note in line with government rules both changing rooms are not to be used so currently members need to come ready to sail.
