On Saturday afternoon the Sandhoppers are being lifted out of the water and into the dinghy park. On Sunday some Cruisers are being lifted out of the water and into the dinghy park.

Members are asked to avoid the dinghy park on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Whilst boats are being moved the dinghy park will be closed to all but essential personnel.

Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation in this matter.

In the spirit of trying to inject some tradition to the club we have put together an evening of enjoyment for the gentlemen of the club in the following order:
We arrive at 7.00 for a Real Ale and a Seafood reception.
At 8.00 we will sit down for dinner.
During and after the dinner we will hear a few short speeches from members about the past, present and future of our club.
We will then have a tasteful comedian to end the structure of the evening – we then have a chance to socialise amongst fellow members and guests.

I have invited a number of Commodores from neighbouring clubs, officials from the RYA and members of the Southend Branch for the RNLI.

I hope you are able to join me and fellow flag officers and members of the committees of Thorpe Bay Yacht Club to make the evening a special event and one which I hope we can hold annually from now on.

Tickets are now available from the Bar or Office at the club or by contacting me on 0770 2299555.

The dress code is Black Tie And the cost of the ticket is £ 25.

Guests are most welcome.

Regards and Best Wishes

We are pleased to announce that “The Sunday Carvery” will be on again this Sunday 21st October due to an over whelming outcome on Sunday 7th October we would like to bring it forward and try for every fortnight instead of once a month 🙂

We had so many good reports since the last one and were very thankful to all who joined us that day to try out our yummy carvary, if you haven’t tried it yet please do join us this Sunday.

Thank you to everyone for your support, hope to see you all again soon.

Kind regards

Thank you to all those who sailed yesterday in the Hunter Cup and Rebellious Bowl – it was a great turnout.

Thanks must go to Mr Phil Hunter who joined us on the Committee Boat and saw the racing. Mr Hunter asked us to make this race a memorial to his late father Dennis who died in the last week of August 2012.

Congratulations go to the winner Robin Foster-Taylor who shared the Firkin of Ale with all those present in the bar last evening – well done.

Mr Phil Hunter is keen to come back next year and support the event in this way again.

It is with great pleasure that we can announce the arrival of our new 4.8 meter rib from Ribcraft.
We are planning on having an official launch this Saturday 6th October at 1.30pm on the slipway and it would be great to see you all there to help toast her arrival at TBYC.
Complimentary bubbly will be available to help with the celebrations

The General Committee have appinted Gary Burrows to the post of Sailing Secretary. Gary was put forward by the Sprint class for this position which has been vacant for most of the year.

Welcome Gary and Thanks
