John Boshier 1930 – 2017

Published by under Club Notices

Club member John Boshier has, sadly, passed away leaving Mary, his wife and a son Christopher. John was a member for many years, originally joining to enable him to sail with his son. This was in a Mirror dinghy later John moved onto bigger things with a Sandhopper, in 1981 and John became a leading light in the class, becoming class captain for several years in the late Eighties.
Always a participant in weekend racing and Weekend and Weekday cruising for many years, John was sailing into his mid-eighties with Janet, our club administrator.

He will be greatly missed by family, friends and the Sandhopper class.

Long Standing Ambition: the first solo round Britain windsurf

Published by under Club Notices

A couple of years ago Jono Dunnett set off from Clacton to complete a Solo around Britain Windsurf and his first stop was Thorpe Bay. We invited him to the Balcony where he was offered his first hospitality of the whole trip.

Many people had previously done the circumnavigation, however always with a support boat. Jono completed it in 98 days, far short of the record but he had succeeded in his quest. He uses a quote in the front of the book “Dream is not what you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep”, something that helped him with his goal.

He has now written a book of the adventure and thought we would be interested to know it has now been published.
