We have two sessions of Race Training for 11+ year old Cadets with basic to more advanced sailing skills this week.
The weather is perfect for Sunday’s session, 9mph wind with some sun and not too early!
Friday, July 7th 19.30 On-Shore session in the sail training room. (The Commodore’s bar is still open; no food available)
Sunday, July 9th 10.30 briefing, On-the-water session at 11.00. (Change into wetsuits before 10.30)
The training will include Planning your course and tactics, spotting windshifts, use of tailtails, laylines, starts etc. We will finish with two races. A full programme can be downloaded later in the week.
Unfortunately this weeks Friday Cadet activities will need to be cancelled due to a booking clash at TBYC. It is also the Nore Race Prizegiving with BBQ should you wish to attend Benfleet YC. We will attempt to re schedule at a later date.
Thank you

Our TBYC Cadet Team Racing Squad emerged bruised and battered after a grueling British Schools Championships at Maidenhead Sailing Club on Saturday. The event, which attracts the largest number of schools in the BSDRA calendar, completed against each other to take the title.
Our boys, who were the youngest at the event by far, had to compete against teams many years older. However, with determination, our tough squad of Thorpe Bay sailors battled the high winds, made some excellent starts, didn’t hold back on the protests and gave their very best. As the gusts reached 31 mph and in Fireflies, capsizes where swiftly recovered and as a team, the opposition were in for a challenging time. The umpire’s decisions seemed to go against us at times, but with a stiff upper lip, they battled on to take second place in the ‘Plate’ after winning two races in a row. Winchester College won overall.
Don’t be fooled by appearances, they are ruthless on the water. Well done boys!
All classes welcome (RS Tera, Optimist, Laser 4.7)
I recommended arrival at the club: 1 hour to 1.5 hours earlier.
Please, rig and change straight away
