We have supported the Matt Dear Race for Cadets at Thames Estury Yacht Club for several years. It is one of our ‘away’ events that all Cadets who can confidently sail a course can enjoy.
This prodigious Race is in memory of Matthew Dear who tragically lost his life after taking Anabolic steroids, is to raise the awareness of the dangers to young people.
It attracts Cadets from all our local clubs and is well organised with trophies donated by the ‘Dear’ family. There is no entrance fee.
We will hold a meeting on Thursday 15 June at 7.30pm to collect Entry forms and consider/organise transport of boats. I will also brief the Cadets for 30 minutes after speaking to parents.
The Entry form is here
Matt Dear Entry Form 23. Please print it out and give it to me on Thursday.
If you can’t make the meeting, please send the form directly to me. I will then register you.
Programme:
Saturday 17th June:
Transport boats by road to TEYC (There may be support for those sailing to TEYC for experienced sailors and faster boats – TBA)

If you have paid for you 2023 storage and plan to keep your dinghies on double or triple stacker road trailers, then you need to inform me as soon as possible which boats these are.
Smaller dinghy storage spaces such as those for Teras, Picos and Lasers don’t really have the width to accommodate larger road trailers.
With this in mind, Mark and I have put together a provisional plan to move the storage of smaller boats on larger road trailers from their usual rows at the North of the Dinghy Park to wider spaces.
This can only happen if numbers are low and provided at the start of the season. Trailers that we are not aware of or introduced later in the season may not be allocated spaces depending upon the capacity of the Dinghy Park at the time.
That you in advance for providing us with your details as soon as you can. I need to publish the plan before next Sunday when the majority of boats will be expected to return following the delayed cruiser lift in on Saturday.
If you plan to return your dinghy before then, plan leave it on the west of the Dinghy Park and then move once the cruisers are launched.
Thank you
Jeremy
