Last Sunday after finishing the Sprint 15 Open, I unfortunately misplaced my Downhaul.
It was on the boat when I took the sail down, therefore I lost it somewhere between the beach and the dinghy park.
If you found it I would appreciate if you would let me know as it is a surprisingly expensive part and required to sail the boat.
It is very similar to the one in the attach photo.
Thanks. Paul Morgan 07741 201052.

Last week the final building at the Grain Power station was demolished leaving the way to start the next stage to bring the Chimney down. You can read more and see the video at Kent Online another demolition at power station/ . In the video the main demolishing starts around 50 seconds.
The comments in the above article also suggest that the Chimney maybe seeing its end in September.

Just a reminder that there are only 120 sleeps to the highlight of the TBYC Calendar. All members are welcome to come down in the afternoon and admire the wonderful sea view from the comfort of the Balcony. I’m so exited I could burst!

Went to the boat park today to give our Topper a once over only to find that the upper half of the mast has gone missing! We’d be grateful if anyone can help
Thanks

We have often heard that people have dropped their phones in the water and generally being at weekends, nothing can be done. So we now have a Reviveaphone kit that is available if required for £18 (our purchase cost was £15+P&P) behind the bar.
There are similar kits but Reviveaphone seems to be the best known. The key thing is if the phone is damaged in water then do not power it up, do not charge it, remove the battery (if you can, iphones are sealed in the phone) and then use the kit, full instructions can be read by clicking on the image.
This has not been tested by the club and so therefore we do not take any responsibility in using the kit.

RACE OFFICER / ASSISTANT RO TRAINING NIGHT
WEDNESDAY 18th MAY at 8pm
Alan Willis is running his popular training session on how to be a Race Officer next Wednesday 18th May at TBYC club main bar.
The night will focus on Setting the Start Line and Setting the Course but will also cover everything you need to know on how to run a race and have lots of tips on stress free race management plus an opportunity to ask questions!
If you are RO or ARO this year – especially at the beginning of the season – now’s the time for experienced hands to brush up their knowledge and for new ROs to learn the ropes.
Even if you are not RO / ARO this year come along and learn how the starts work – it may help you get off the line better! And at least you will know what the flags actually mean….

Starting this Monday 16th, the midweek series recommences. Due to tides, there are only 8 races scheduled this year with 6 to count. With warm sunshine and light winds forecast, it’s an opportunity for the monohulls to steal an early lead.
The bar will be open for anyone wishing to watch the action from the balcony and after racing.
