Congratulations to Millie and Vicky, Teddy and Henry, Harry and Olivia (RS Feva) and Sam and Jacob (Sprint 15) representing TBYC; for winning the 2014 Inter-Club CADET Team Race.
They all showed consistency and perseverance through-out the race, starting well and battling around an exciting short course five times to take 1st, 3rd and 4th place. It was clear that our TBYC squad were on top form as they rounded the Windward Mark and hoisted their spinnakers.
As the race continued it was becoming apparent that Essex YC had a rather talented pair, also in a RS Feva and they were maintaining the lead. However, on the final reach the ‘Little’s’ overtook them, securing first place. Only seconds behind were our other Fevas, taking the overall competition.
What an achievement and an adventure, sailing to Leigh Sailing Club, being on the line at the start with 58 other boats, WINNING and finally sailing back around the pier for a second time; Well done to all!

In a precursor to the UK Nationals & Cadet World Championships in Weymouth next month Alex Warrington & Anna Wootton (Waldringfield SC) have this afternoon won the Belgium Cadet Nationals held during the 2014 Flanders Youth Regatta.
The standard of racing was extremely high at this year’s BSDRA Thames Valley Team Racing Championships at Bray lake. There were 21 teams competing, aged between 12 and 18 in a total of 106 races on Saturday 7th June. During the first set of races the teams are seeded into four divisions, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Novices. Our young TBYC team won enough races to be placed in the Bronze division, which was an achievement in itself.
They continued to communicate and sail well as a team, and considering their overall age, their sailing was impressive, against much older sailors. They performed a number of Pass-backs, Mark traps and Pinning maneuvers and were determined right to the end. It may have been a most daunting experience at times, but they achieved a pleasing =12th place out of 21 teams. They were awarded the Best Newcomers’ Cup!
TBYC Team: Teddy Elmore and Henry Petty-Mayor, Harry Boygle and Olivier Petty-Mayor, Vicki Little and William Webster Teams: Ardingly, Bradfield, Claires Court, Clifton, Charterhouse, Eton, Haileybury, Kings, MCS Oxford, Millfield, RGS, Rugby, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Thorpe Bay Yacht Club, Wellington, Winchester. Overall winners: Sevenoaks School Runners-up: Eton College.
