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

Please let me know who is coming, this information helps me a great deal to plan. Thanks. Alternatively you can register on the google form: https://forms.gle/UugnugHji6m5Pxvv9

Lots of sailing for our Cadets this weekend.

If you are a little more confident, I encourage you to race in the Club’s TBYC Regatta. On Saturday I will be there to support you by making sure you understand the starting procedure, the course and answering your questions. We will meet before the races, after the official briefing (11.00) on Saturday at 11.30 by the Cadet Rib Store. Click here for Sailing Instructions TBYC-Regatta-SSI-2021

Andras will arrange Training for our younger Cadets on Saturday and Sunday. Their progress since the beginning of the season has been excellent. Saturday: Sailing off the beach at 12.30.  Sunday: sailing off the beach at 13.00

On Monday, we will hold our own ‘assisted’ mini Cadet Regatta, with 5 races (3 to count).  We will leave the beach at 14.00. Short briefing at 13.45.
