Good news, our Web Cams are returning with improved quality.
We have fitted new improved Cameras and are just adding the devices to let you enjoy them. Over the next few weeks this is being tested and we will be adding more.
Unfortunately during the testing unusual things can happen. We will get this sorted, but I wanted to assure you we are aware of it and working on it!
Happy sailing

This year the programme has been supplied electronically and therefore this will help integrate with your calendars.
For those people that already use this but it hasn’t automatically updated this year, this is because Hals have changed the URL format. This is fixed by deleting the old calendar link and add the new one from below.
As DutyMan has just been populated for the year (Race and Tide details), I thought this would be a good reminder. You can automatically include the DutyMan/Racing dates in your diary (Outlook, Gmail, Smartphones, etc).
The following link downloads a file in a format that is recognised by most packages (.ICS). To put into Outlook you can use the Import Option once the file is saved, and within Gmail Google Calendar you can just add the URL directly as anothers calendar.

When any changes are made they reflected in this link, so if you are using a dynamic calendar like Gmail it should automatically update.
If you are more adventurous all this information is available in the Smartphone tab once logged into DutyMan, including links specifically for your duties. Remember however the file format isn’t just restricted to Smartphones.
Never miss a race !

We have now concluded the Adult Sailing Support Sessions for the Winter as we now have changed seasons and will be out on the water. All of the sessions were recorded and the packs are now available to download. We will be continuing our support of Beginner Adults, but will be taking a break for a couple of weeks to gather our thoughts and plans.
Please note: these sessions are not formal training. They are sharing of experiences from the Sandhopper Fleet as well as many other sailors from the Club, we are not qualified coaches. For formal training we suggest that you approach the RYA or other qualified coaches.
Below you will see the details of what subjects were covered in Q1 2022, these were recorded on Zoom (now on You tube) and the slide packs have been made available with the original links to reference material and videos used. The sound quality varies, but the packs and links in the slides should help.
Session 1
Club Induction, different boats at TBYC, Basics – Parts of a boat, Port/Starboard

The Cadet season is fast approaching.
Cadet week planning meetings have commenced and it is hoped the entry forms will be released over the Easter holidays. This will be advertised via the website, email and Facebook. If you have any time to offer in the organisation – excel skills, ordering trophies, sponsorship please get in touch.
The cadets are lucky to have many volunteers who are offering a comprehensive programme over the sailing season. Parents are required to stay with their children and assist throughout activities at all times. All children will require appropriate clothing and a buoyancy aid. It is advisable for parents to also have a wetsuit and in cadet week a buoyancy aid is required for all adults.
Oppie beach club led by Adam Clarke for new and younger cadets – learning basic skills and water confidence very close to shore. The first session is the 2nd April at 11.30. Please watch out for information via Facebook and the website. Families can access the club Oppies, learn to rig them etc and if confident can be borrowed at your convenience.
Andras Gal is the cadet sail training officer and Nick Alston the Cadet racing officer – their contact details are on the website. They run a comprehensive programme for cadets starting with race training on the 3r April. Other sessions will include mini races and tera sessions. Please chat with Nick and Andras if you need further information or you are unsure which sessions are suitable for your child. There will also be limited places on the RYA youth training.
If parents are new to sailing you might want to catch up with the adult sailing support for beginners via facebook and zoom recordings which have been very beneficial for our novice adult sailors – you can catch up and join in from now.
The club calendar can be found here

Which is also located on the sidebar under “Whats On”
Please remember that parents remain responsible for their children at all times. Please leave the club as you would wish to find it and remember to throw rubbish away (sweet wrappers, crisp packets and cans) and ensure that children are not running around in the club house or car park. Children must NOT play down the side of the club where the RIBS are stored at any time. We encourage everyone to be kind and courteous to fellow cadets, adults, our neighbours, visitors and the general public. Please familiarise yourself with the parents charter to ensure that the club is a safe and happy place that can be enjoyed by all members

I will advertise a date for the first wetsuit shop of the season shortly.
Don’t forget the working party tomorrow, 5th March 10-12noon
Looking forward to seeing you all soon weather on the beach, on the water or in the club.
