LONELY HEART SS3 REQ HELM & CREW SAT 16TH JULY….ST 11:30
Not looking forwards to that DIY job planned for this saturday?
The ironing pile is so tall, it keeps falling over?
Your wetsuit is still ripe from the weekend before?
You can’t close the lid on the linen basket, the kids have just emptied out the fridge within a day and the trip to the supermarket is looming?
Well do not dispair, we have the solution. SS3 needs a helm & crew for this saturday points 4, start time is 11:30. So leave that paint brush at home, prop the ironing pile in a corner, let wetsuit dry in bag for next weekend, close toilet door to hide linen basket, send your kids to their friends and order the food online. Simple.
Now all don’t rush at once, first come first served. Please click on link below and see you saturday.
Thanks

2011 Nore Race & TBYC Mulberry BBQ
Another great weekend afloat – Well done to TBYC’s F18 Sailors David White & Matt Rainbow winning the BYC Nore Race Multihull Dinghy class & Ronnie Barnes in his Musto Skiff taking the honours in the Monohull Dinghies. It certainly looked very exciting & we have some fantastic footage of the F18 downwind for the time the Rib could keep up with you.
On Sunday for the Club Mulberry BBQ we were blessed with great weather which by midday had turned into sunfilled clear blue skies & allowing great watersports conditions with lots of smiles.
Great to see so many families taking part in a variety of craft & members making the walk out to join in the fun at low tide. Well done to the two Alex’s for demonstrating their unplanned swimming skills!
