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!

All,

please take a look at the links to the SSI and the start times for the pursuit race on Sunday the 22nd.

If I’ve inadvertently missed your class of boat out and you wish to compete in the race please contact me at your earliest convenience as I won’t be able to sort it out on the day.

well done to the 147 cadets and their respective parents for a tremendously well supported and appreciated Cadet Week 2010.
TBYC at its very best.
The enthusiasm is truly infectious with the behaviour and politeness of our Cadets being first class.
Special Thanks to the Group Leaders, Racing Sharks Ian Little & Rupert Snow, Barracudas Mike Thomason, Stingrays Mark Petty-Mayor, these guys with their respective helpers take on a huge responsibility and are tasked to ensure an enjoyable week on the water and as usual surpassed expectation.
Beverly Warrington once again stepped into the breach as director of operations with all the deserved plaudits.
There are many parents who helped all the above achieve the weeks full programme of events from refuelling in the Bosuns Hut to Road Crossing Patrols which are vital to the safety of our Cadets as young as 4 years.
Final thank you to all those without Cadets doing the week who still took a weeks holiday out from work or retirement to help and all the effort really ensures a good future for both our Club and Sport of Sailing.

many thanks to you all,

Peter

Stating ‘In memory of Gerald Webb’

The ladies showers are almost finished, we have doubled the size of the changing room, installed 5 new powerful showers which are running off the supply from the cascading boiler system, within the next few weeks we will have cubicles in the showers for additional privacy, the toilets have been painted, new chrome paper holders, soap dispensers etc are in and we will be adding new hairdryers.
All the work has been carried out with minimal disruption with the help of a few members and some professional trades. Many thanks to Sam Husk, Alex Hadley, Isabel Duce, Peter Thompson, Nick Elmore, Toby Speller, Paul Spratt and Ian Bradley for giving up there time to help.
Thanks also to the various trades for their work…MHS Radiators and boilers, Mike whistler building work and John Woods Taylor plumbers.
I hope you enjoy the improvements and that the increased capacity creates an even better atmosphere for the increasing number of female sailors that TBYC is lucky to have.
