Last weekend saw many of our Sprint 15 sailors racing at Marconi in windy and cold conditions.
Thorpe Bay made an impressive start to the newly introduced Traveller Team Trophy with a turnout of six competitors.
The highlight of the weekend was a long race around Osea and Northey Islands, with a strong if inconsistent northerly breeze, this proved to be one of the fastest round the island races with a fetch for much of the race.
Many of our team getting top 10 position. Chris Tillyer and Steve Healy being split by Jenny Ball our TBYC regular winter visitor, followed closely by Jim Bowie and Daren Fitchew.
Well done guys. Full report and results available at Yachts and Yachting Race Report

I currently have a spare Sprint15 in the dinghy park which I’d like to offer to other members who might like to have a go over the winter season. You can be assured of plenty of help from the rest of the fleet.
The boat is entered for the icicle series so you can race or just go out for a sail during the racing.
If interested give me a call. Daren 07889 003599

During the Hurricane Nationals this weekend, entertainment has been arranged by the club and everybody is welcome. So why not plan an evening out.
Saturday @ 9 Pm – Comedy with Comedian Phil Reid
Sunday @ 9 Pm – Live Music with Jukebox Junkies (band doesn’t finish until after 11:00)
About Phil Reid – “Don’t just take our word for it. Beating over 100 comedians from all over the uk, this genuinely funny guy was rightfully crowned joker of the year 2014.
This warm,vibrant cheeky chap has a natural story telling ability that captures all the audience, tickling your funny bone whither you are young or old. From the mishaps of 
life to the mischief of his extensive work experience as a bingo caller to holiday park entertainer to children’s party host, it makes him one of the most versatile and adaptable comedians/comperes out there.”
About Jukebox Junkies – Retro 5-piece Essex (Southend)-based Band playing authentic live covers of Greatest Hits from ’50s,’60s, ’70s, ’80s & ’90s. They may already be known by a few members as they have played regularly in the area. Fronted by Tony “The Voice” Jumont as lead vocals which would be no surprise with that nickname.
