Mark Jewell needs a crew member for sailing a Sandhopper during Sunday’s.

If you are interested please contact him on Email [email protected]

Don’t miss the start of the Racing Calendar which covers 12 months from Apr15-Mar16. The Calendar is available for purchase at the club bar with an excellent price in line with last year.

The 2015 price remains at £8

We have ordered a similar amount to last year, however if we run out please pay (leaving your name) and we will submit a further order before the calendar starts. All the racing dates in a popular format, with familiar scenes and saving you loads of time writing the programme up somewhere else.

I understand the usual Club Programmes will be with you soon.

With the new season coming soon, you may require Crews or Helms, or you might currently be sailing a Pico and would like to crew something faster.

We have now set up a new page where you can add or find people interested in or having available positions. The link to the page can be found on the sidebar or by going to http://www.tbyc.org/crewhelms-availableandwanted/ .

Thanks to Howard Hawkes and Kevin Soane for taking the video.

Hi,
I hope your all having a great Christmas.
I am hoping to sail my Hurricane at this years Frozen Sheets to work the turkey and mince pies off, but Sophie and I are down for SS7 instead.
Does anybody wish to take SS7 out? (you will need a crew) or can swap a duty.
Many thanks.
Simon

Sunday was 25 mph Gusting 35 mph but was the challenge for Chris Boshier in his Contender and four Sprints to head off to Leigh on Sea.

A big well done to Chris for defending the trophy and taking it for the second year and to Daren Fitchew who took second place. We understand that a few other club sailors were also in contention but had been disqualified due to mark errors.

Full results are available here: Brass Monkey 2014 Results

Thanks also goes to Toby and our safety crews that escorted our sailors for the day.

Full details and entry forms are on the Leigh on Sea Website at http://www.leighsailingclub.org/316-brass-monkey-trophy-race-sunday-21st-december
