Fred Harries passed away yesterday evening following a stroke, Fred was one of the founder members of the original TBYC based purely on the beach prior to the clubhouse. Fred was a keen sailor and a Horneteer and was last at the club for Ian Kennedy’s Funeral in 2010.
I am reliably informed that Fred’s mother Anne designed the Current Club Burgee.

Yesterday we had the shocking news of a yacht capsize off the coast of Portugal. Multihull Class Captain Chris Hull was one of a three man crew. It is understood the yacht was on its way from Vigo Spain to Gibraltar and the Yacht had been trying to enter a marina at Povoa de Varzim just north of the city of Porto Portugal when struck by a wave and capsized.
One crew member made it ashore while two are still missing with the search continuing. Chris has many friends at TBYC and our thoughts and hopes are with his friends and family.
