With the cruisers having swapped places with the dinghies can i remind you of the standard Marina Etiquette for all Halyards to be fastened away from the mast. This will ensure a more peaceful boatpark without the clanging and continue the goodwill from our neighbours.

Ian Kennedy passed away yesterday morning after a long and painful illness.
A true “Ian day” with clear blue sky and a lovely sailing breeze was a fitting tribute from the weather.
I knew Ian in his post sailing days and enjoyed many times with him catching the sunshine and peace in a lovely part of the world being Thorpe Bay Beach and that is how i shall hold my memories.
Ian being one of the longest serving members of Thorpe Bay Yacht Club always took a very keen interest in its affairs and was alway able to help with the history of members and events.
Thoughts are with the family and especially Margaret who has seen far too much pain and suffering and been a real saint.
once funeral details are known i shall let you know.

A Topaz Vibe Sail Number 4926 has been left in
the Dinghy Park for the past 2 months next to the
front row of Sprints. There are no details on the
Club database and we are anxious to trace the
owner of this boat.

Hi All,

You’ve waited for it, you’ve asked for it and at last it’s here, come on and sign up for your Winter racing at the North side of the Thames Premier sailing venue.

Please note entries and payment must be in by 17th October 2010 so we can allocate dinghy park spaces.

DON’T FORGET this is an open even, so if  you want to get some Winter training in with a buddy from another club get them to enter too.

happy sailing

Due to ever increasing commitments – and a distinct lack of spare time – I have decided to step down as Cadet Representative at the AGM in November. Would anybody interested in taking on this most worthwhile job please contact me (07790 089860). I will be happy to assist in any way I can. The Firework and Christmas Parties will both already be arranged so handover should be easy.

Looks like a nice sunny weekend for the bank holiday mini series which will run over the three days, racing starts on saturday at 13.00.
On sunday there will also be a BBQ at tbyc after racing, so get your suncream on and sails out and come and join in the fun.
Make the most of the summer, winter is just around the corner!
