Thorpe Bay Yacht Club

Tel: 01702 587 563

The club is monitoring the Coronavirus situation and taking guidance from Public Health England.

We are actively increasing our cleaning and wipe down process and have signage posted around the club to help advise members

We would further request all members endeavour to take notice of all official recommendations from World Health Organization and The NHS / government advice including requesting members who have visited hot spots to self isolate from the club

We also request you use Contactless Payments where possible to reduce on any passing of the virus that may occur whilst using cash.

These are very challenging times and we want our club to be proactive and as safe as possible

For this weekend and possibly for the next week at least, please would you refrain from using the grass car park next to the dinghy park. After the heavy rains recently it’s very wet and unsuitable for use.

Many thanks

StormCiara is on the way. If you’re out and about this weekend, please #RespectTheWater and stay clear of exposed areas and breaking waves. If you see someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

The Club has been given the opportunity to give a member Lark 1512. Mr Chris Brandon will generously give the boat to any member who will sail the boat at the club. It needs a little tlc and it will be ready to go in no time.

The Lark is a two person boat with a Symmetrical spinnaker. It has a very large and active class association with events all over the country.

This is a great opportunity for a member to bring the boat back into competitive use for 2020 and beyond.

Any interested members please contact me or Janet at the club, or leave a message here.

A flare has been found in the dinghy park.  It’s in date 12/21.  Please call 01702 587563.

Sunday 8th December, 16:00-19:00
