This year’s Dinghy AGM will be held on Wednesday 14th November 2017 at 20:00 in the Commodores Bar.

The 2018 main season is over, it is this time of year when your Class Captains and the Sailing Committee start to work hard behind the scenes putting next year’s programme together.

The Dinghy AGM is your chance to help by telling us what aspects of the 2018 programme you enjoyed this year and sharing any good ideas you think we could incorporate into the 2019 Sailing Programme.
We hope to see you there.

Chris Boshier and the 2018 Sailing Committee.

Click on the link for the TBYC results. Well done to all our cadets who did so well in quite tricky conditions. Good to see you out there – keep it up!

and what a weekend, tail end of (now tropical storm Michael), Storm Leslie, Sandhopper Final Fling and Lift out, First races of the Winter series (13:00 Sat & 14:00 Sun) and the cruisers being lifted out Saturday morning too!
So if you have a boat paid for in the dinghy park, please ensure it is
