We have been in discussions with Abi Davies at Burnham Sailing Club regarding holding a winter Feva training session at TBYC on 6th and 7th April, with John Lewis.

They would like all our TBYC Feva sailors to join in with the training.

We have agreed that all boats will be launch and clear of the slipway by 8am on the Saturday and 9am on the Sunday, so as not to interfere with the club racing on either day.

We have offered the use of Swindon rib for support and they may be bringing their own rib as well, which will be left in the car park with the Fevas overnight on the Saturday.

They will be having lunch on both days, and will be using the sail training room for debriefs on both days.

This would be a great opportunity for our Feva sailors to not only get some great training experience, but to also race against other Feva sailors prior to their National Championships in late May at TBYC.

If any other cadet members are interested in Feva training Please contact us. We currently have four TBYC boats on this event – it would be good to get more.

For safety reasons,  please make sure you complete any other boat movements before 2.00 pm Sunday 24th March and stay clear of the boat park and slip from then until the lift-in is complete.

Thank you for your cooperation.

(Note: Start time moved forwards – initially published as 2:30 pm)

The Cruising Section is hosting a Quiz in the bar this Tuesday 12th March, and ALL MEMBERS are welcome.

It would be great if some of the other sailing sections got together a team – usually 4 – 6; we’d love to see more of you Sandhoppers, Fevas, Picos, Cats, Finns, Lasets, Sprints etc.

But you don’t need a team – just come by yourself and we’ll find you (and you’ll find us) convivial company!

There is no need to book; entry is £2 head which pays for the prizes.  (No food provided so eat first.)

Our quizzes are always challenging, interesting and fun and an enjoyable, healthily competitive evening is had by all.

(Sorry for the short notice…  see Cruising Sailing Dates  for forthcoming events. )

cheers

Bill (for Derek, Rear-Commodore Cruising)
