….Not enough minutes in the day?

….Always running late to the club?

….Missing that all essential start by vital seconds?

….And hate that long walk on a rainy day carrying a heavy, dripping wet, freezing cold bag full of cold sailing gear down that slippery slope and across that oh so boggy field?

Well fear not, the answer to your prayer is here. Available very shortly is the best parking space at the club complete with your very own personal name plate.

Keep extra dry and warm as you open the rear door of the club and throw your bag straight into the boot of your waiting car, only a mere 5 steps from the changing room door.

If you wish to take advantage of this once in a lifetime offer, please let me know…AND if that isn’t enough, there’s more….you inherit the grand title of sailing secretary to maintain this space:)

Seriously though folks, this position still has to be filled for next year.  Give me a call if you wish to find out more about the role. You would be well supported and can even have a trial park in the space, see for yourself  how much time and effort can be saved!

So go on, be part of a successful team and help give something back to the club.

IT NEEDS YOU!

The challenge is on for the insomniacs amongst us because the addictive online Round the World, Volvo Ocean race game starts on 5th November at 14:00 CET.

The race  lasts for nearly 9 months and mimicks the real event.

In 2009 there were several boats entered from TBYC and the rivalry set in.

You can run a boat as a share and split the load if you wish.

Please feel free to leave your TBYC boatname once you have signed up as a comment on this item then you will be able to track their progress.

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!
