Did anyone find a Casio sailing watch in the changing rooms after Saturdays race. My son thinks he left his in there he was sitting on the benches by the shower. If anyone has seen it could they let me know on 07870 258724.

I have a problem regarding Cadet Week which I am sure others also have.

I have three cadets who want to be in the Racing sharks. We have access to two Picos but we need a fourth cadet. Our other children are not old enough. If anyone is interested please can you contact me on 07870258724.

Easter Hog Roast tickets are still available behind the bar and from Jo in the kitchen. Get yours quick before they all sell out!

Free for all Cadets

Jess Quinlan & Alex Warrington – Otters/TBYC GBR 8407
George Warrington & Greg Watson – TBYC GBR 9029

Fishers Green Open Meeting

A popular “pond” event which this year was run in very difficult conditions. With not only 32 kts of breeze and very shifty but also sudden lulls and gusts caused by the many trees made this entertaining to watch to say the least! However Jess and Alex managed to secure a very solid 2nd overall in a 39 strong fleet. Showing off their great spinnaker work and boat handling, blasting them through the fleet after what was a lottery of a beat in most cases.

George and Greg did very well and were 23rd despite not sailing in the last 2 races after a bad capsize, which is a great improvement for him. Especially considering that it was Greg’s very first Cadet event and only his 3rd time in the boat!…… Well done Greg!

Squadron 17 revival!                    

The only 3 sail race dinghy designed purely for youngsters!                        

The UK National Cadet Class Association have heard that we are trying to revive the Cadet Class fleet at TBYC and many of you have already commented how great it is to see these boats return to the club. The Asscociation have very kindly given me 2 boats to help us revive Squadron 17 (last in operation over 20 years ago!)

Boat available immediately, ready to sail in the Winter Series!

I am looking for 2 cadets for one of these boats. You will have full responsibility for the boat – insurance, dinghy park fees and running repairs. But the use of the boat is FREE. It would also be desirable that you try to take part in the 3 Indicator events and the Nationals next year.

NB: These are not “beach boats” and are to be used for racing and sail training only.

If you want to know more or are interested in taking a boat please contact me: [email protected] and come and join the only double-handed youth racing dinghy fleet. Or if you want to buy your own boat click here for the UKNCCA for sale list: http://www.mariner.co.uk/classifieds/pages/search/searchresult.asp
