Thorpe Bay Yacht Club

Tel: 01702 587 563

Dear Members,

Following the Governments announcement that we are now in Tier 4 the club has reviewed its guidance to members.

Members can still access the dinghy park and free sail as there is no limit on outdoor exercise.

Please also consider you should be staying at home and only travelling for specific reasons like work and education.

If attending the dinghy park on your own you may only mix with one other person who is not part of your household or support bubble.

RYA guidelines currently do not include Tier 4 advice. This will be reviewed by the club when published.

Regards

Adrian Bunting

Commodore TBYC

The sandhopper fleet has been lost, someone must know where they have gone?

A fantastic day this Sunday with perfect sailing conditions and only four arrived, Nore race last weekend and only three!

They must be somewhere, perhaps they have all gone to the dark side and joined the sprint fleet?

Please help and find the lost souls of a once fantastic race fleet that have been lost.

If you cannot find them, please feel free to take charge of their empty boats and go sailing. They will never know.

Thank you

Thank you to Toby, Dominic, Joshua & Daniel Speller for providing safety cover today, and to Martin Swindon & Alfie Langley for manning SS4 so we had a base station.

A BIG! Thank-you from the fast cats and myself, for all the help this weekend. Yes, the A-class fleet didn’t get out to race due to the high winds but we were still out on the water in other forms. A big thank-you to Howard & Robin and the girls, for looking after the race officer bit, To the Rib owners, Lewis, Martin and Michael plus crews, who did a fantastic job laying marks and saving sailors etc. To Paul and Pete on SS3 who helped save a runaway Tornado from doing too much damage on Saturday. Thanks goes without saying to Paul, Donna and the bar staff team for keeping spirits up. To Dave and the kitchen crew for the weekend service and our lovely club secretary Janet, who kept it all on track. Thanks again to Graham Dare for dealing with the council car parking and to Michael & Howard, who put all the race results together really quickly. It’s amazing what a team club effort can do.
